Prior to H leaving this is what he yelled at me about every morning. He made me look like an idiot always saying what do you do with your money that I give you. I was determined when he returned that he would never touch my money again.I used to turn the entire paycheck over to him every two weeks and live in overdraft for myself and the kids. The way it is working now is I pay all the bills in the house, including the hydro at cottage and that phone bill. He pays for his won car insurance and the cottage taxes. He gives me 250.00 towards his share of the bills and the rest of his money is his. I am finding that I cant pay for the large things like eavestrough replacement and Christmas. This year I have learned that because with Christmas taxes(because it dipped into RSP to complete some reno at the house) and a crown I needed work payed for half I have not come out of the whole. I am holding my own because I do have 7,000 saved in an account. He uses his money to pay off boat, my car(A gift), equipment he purchased to start own business due to unhappiness at work and car repairs. So all in all I am oK with this. I just need him to give once in awhile with the kids and we have started this. I asked him to set this money aside to treat his kids. Loretta
