Haven’t been here for a long time, but just have to vent.
My STBX is such a controlling, manipulative individual. I really hate her with every fiber of my being. D18 just got accepted into Boston College. She’s battled back so hard from anorexia, and it was a dream of a lifetime! It’s also 51K a year!
First, I had to send amended taxes to their financial aid office, because STBX did not claim and additional $1,800 I gave her. Because it was outside of the court order, she is saying it never happened!
That cost me an additional $600 to the IRS. Today, the housing fee was due at Boston College….$500. D18 asked if STBX would pay half. She responded “I paid for the SAT Prep course”, so I can’t pay it. D18 was in tears. I have 13K in legal bills, because this has gone on for 2 years!
I wouldn’t pi&& on STBX is she was on fire! Another set-up. She told D18 that I had to be “on board” for her to go to BC. She KNOWS it’s 51K a year, and she’s just laying in ambush waiting for me to say I can’t afford it.
I don’t give a sh&t. I paid the $500 plus another $150 to UCONN where she also got accepted. UCONN is giving her 13K in financial aid out of 21K, but she has her heart set on BC. I won’t be held hostage by that bit&h!
At the end of the day, BC will not give us nearly the aide UCONN did (which is a GREAT school!) The UCONN offer is too good to pass, up, but I paid the $500 to BC just to wait and see what they might give us.
I bet it’s no more than 5K. Another case of collateral damage done by divorce. I will have to have the tough conversation with D18 that UCONN is the way to go, but in this part of the country, kids are stupidly entitled. She will do well no matter where she goes. She wants to go to medical school. I told her to put her money into a great med school, and take UCONN for all it's worth!
