Soon, I'm hoping we won't be dependent on asking him for 'handouts' to cover basic expenses.
And even sooner, I hope to learn not to get dragged and baited into pointless arguments with him.
I'm a sucker. I told him tonight I did not have the time to talk finances when he raised the topic. I asked him to leave. I walked away into another room. But when he yelled out that I didn't even have the guts to talk openly to the children about how I was spending their money on an expensive lawyer instead of buying them decent food, I got suckered back in.
How foolish. You think I might have learned by now.
