New Year brings exciting news

[ACJ]

Hi Kat,
Thanks for asking I am fine and my daughter can go back to school just as soon as her wound heals. My new job starts on 29th March.

XH continues to be an ass! His latest 'trick' is to tell S17 that if he gets an apprenticeship he wil 'give' him the flat in a couple of years time. He is currently renting the flat at a loss (or so he says) and it is in negative equity so S17 would effectively be taking on an £85,000 mortgage at 19/20.

My reaction? I had two initial ones:

What about your sisters what help is he going to give them?
Why would you want to tie yourslef down at such a young age with a whopping mortgage (which he won't be able to afford)at such a young age?

Ironically the only reason I found out about all this is b/c S17 skipped college again yesterday based on this convo with XH. He thought it a better use of his time to look for an apprenticeship than go to college.
I let XH know that S17 had skipped school again and he was expectedly furious but I don't suppose for one minute he will take r esponsibility for his part in it.
