Tell her she needs to get a job. Don't finance her leaving you. Don't finance her A. Only support the kids.
You need to see the receipts or statements if you're going to reimburse her for expenses related to the children.
I cut my W off. If she buys groceries for the kids, I'll pay her back after I get the receipt.
Her mother gives her money and she lives rent free. She's not feeling the results of her actions. I feel better because I'm not responsible for her crazy spending. Oh boy is she spending. I'm already saving money for the first time since ever.
Close joint accounts so you can't see her wasteful spending. Plus, you don't want her to overdraft and have it start pulling from any savings. Closing our joint accounts requires both account holders to physically go into a branch office. I'm get stupid when I'm around her, so not ready to do that yet.
Don't trust her to give a damn about money now if she never has before.
