I write this blog as a way of getting through a difficult divorce with a difficult man who was the love of my life but turned out to be bipolar, self-absorbed and controlling. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he told me he had never stopped gambling, an addiction that had caused us a lot of pain in our earlier years. This led to me filing dissolution papers before he had a chance to run up any more debts against community property.

Out of $$$$
Let's see, you say you are out of money. How can that be???? I gave you $4054 on the 28th. That was two weeks ago. A week or so before that you got $5000 by getting a loan on the Acura. Then you said you got a loan for $7250 from a friend, AND you got your monthly $850 from Social Security. That comes to $17,000 or thereabouts. If you paid back the loan on the car, subtract about $5300. Hmmmmmmm.....You DON'T have a place to live, you DON'T have an attorney. You DO have a new laptop computer. You DO have a new fancy dancy camera. And you need more money? Let's do some math here. The camera probably cost $3000. The laptop cost $750. Let's say you've spent 22 of the last 32 nights in a motel. Let's say that motel cost $75 a night because I know that's about what they cost around here, and they're less in the desert. That's $1650. Then there's food. Let's say you spend $20 a day on food. 32 days of $20 would make $640. I know you have spent at least 6 nights at Agua Caliente on Tina's freebies but you DO have to pay some kind of tax, like $25 a night. So let's add in $150 for that. Then let's say you have splurged on some really nice meals. We'll add another $200. So what does that come to? And then there's gas. Let's say $200 for gas. Can that add up to $2840? Now, let's go over that income again and get some possible totals. There's a maximum of $17,000 if you really got a loan from a friend and you DIDN'T pay back the loan on the Acura. That would give you over $14000. Then, maybe you DID pay back the Acura loan. That would make about $11,700. Subtract $2840 and you would have almost $9000. What if you DIDN'T get the loan from a friend and you DID pay back the Acura loan. That would make $9,750 minus about $5300, leaving $4450. Subtract $2840 and you end up with $1650. Gee, that doesn't add up to you being out of money. Oh! But I forgot! You have a new camera and a new laptop. And you've been making swell motions in court and hiring and firing attorneys. Oh, and let's not forget the casinos. In my mind, that's what this is all about. You chose gambling over being married. I wonder where the money went. I wonder now. Have you been playing a little poker? Well, then, I guess you're out of money. You better sell your new camera.
