I agree there is something fishy about the whole cash thing, but either it vanished or someone took it, or rysmom forgot to take it with her. But, I am naturally suspicious, I grew up in a cop family, and am M to one. Good idea 25yrs for her to check her homeowner's insurance. Rysmom, I went back and read some of your old posts, and you were saying then that you needed to protect yourself financially. If he is spending like crazy, you need to protect yourself. Have you spoken with a L to at least see what rights you have in your state? vc
