Nope. You’re flat out wrong on this one. You’ve hit a lot closer to the mark than I care to admit with some of the things you’ve said, but this time you’re wrong. This is another one like the A. As I said before, there was some very specific reason why I let her get access to our finances again. I can’t remember what it was though, and that’s really frustrating. I do remember that there was some reason that I was unable to be there to physically write checks and pay bills, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was.
The consistent pattern you see in me is not denial, it’s the same old reluctance to take the actions that need to be taken. I needed her to take the finances for a little while and I hoped that she would have learned something in the interim. It didn’t take long to see that nothing had changed, but for some reason, I was still reluctant to bar her access again. I honestly can’t tell you why I was/am so reluctant, but it’s NOT any kind of denial. I know what’s happening and I know what needs to be done. I’m not denying anything and I’m not deluding myself. The only thing that remotely resembles denial is that I keep hoping that W will see the light. She should remember the bankruptcy. She should remember its effects. I keep thinking/hoping that she’ll see that we’re heading there again and will reign in her spending. Realistically, I know that’s not going to happen, but I keep giving her that one last chance.
