Good advice PP. We tried this a couple times before. She will stray whenever this family member of her's comes up. Earlier this summer, the kid's dad was here with an expensive camera. I wasn't happy "knowing" he owed us some money. I mentioned it to the W. To that, she slipped that he owed "us" nearly 4 times what I thought. At one point, I noticed our mortgage wasn't paid on time. I started charting her known family drama to these money issues. I see a pattern. They use her as a human ATM machine. She's out there to say the least.

She came home last night. I had my shields up ready for battle as she was in a bad mood and mad at me before she split for work. She came through the door nice as heck. Talking and cheerful. I can't figure this out. Hateful when she leaves for work and cool when she comes back. I some times wonder what happens at work. Today, we're heading in a couple different directions. She's taking the kids to her brother's place. I'm heading north to a town 20 mile from here to visit. I hope I don't get attitude this time. On Friday, I when for a visit and understand she was mad. I just don't get it.

More to follow.
