wishing, You are not missing anything...welcome to the world of MLC! He's trying to control you and what you do. He wants to know your every move and he can't do that if he's not in contact w/you and tightening the purse strings.
When he's spewing like that, change the subject! Talk about how much fun your children are having and how nice the weather is...you have to learn to throw him off his game.
He's an angry man because he got what he wanted and he's still not a happy pod person. As for the ow, sure, he'll always have money for himself and that ow. Upon your return home, start squirreling away a little bit of cash for you and the children and when you have a nice little pile, treat yourselves to a nice outing or something...that way he can't justify his actions w/you spending money.
Where there is a will, there is a way to get around an MLCer!
Enjoy the rest of your vacation and don't allow him to ruin it!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
