Maybe She Isn't Evil

[RDS]

RDS,

I'm sorry.

Doodler, thanks, but where is your humor in this? 

Sorry

Proud of you for your comment about the life insurance. The fact you put D as beneficiary should have been enough for her.
It [censored] but if she blames you that is her problem.

You would think, but my XW looks at my daughter almost like an extension from me. It’s sad really. I keep telling my daughter to ignore how her mother is now, because hopefully in the future her mother will realize they will want and need each other.

Take comfort in knowing any more debt she accumulates is on her. You're out of that nightmare now.

One thing I can take comfort in is I am now in charge of my money. It’s amazing how much extra money I have even though I have to pay her alimony and I am losing half my retirement. I had to scale down a lot from the lifestyle I used to have, but my money is not going away frivolously. I’m even able to pay extra on the CC bills and put money into my savings. At least that stressful part of my life is eliminated. I had told my XW if I had taken over the budget we would either still be happily married or we would have divorced years ago because I would have been very strict with the money.
