[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 288715, member: 1233"] It IS hard to watch. She is just not ready to handle money. She is not firmly enough into recovery or invested enough into it. She may even be transferring the addiction to alcohol and drugs to an addiction to spending. Chances are that until she hits bottom for ALL of it she will just go from one thing to another. What did she spend the money on? IF it is stuff you do not see, or for stuff you didn't see her do, then she is spending on drugs or alcohol. Or possibly on stuff to sell to get drugs or alcohol. Do not rescue her. make HER pay the money off. Or make her work it off by doing work for you. Do to get. She does the work and THEN you pay it off. NOT the other way around. It will become to big a hassle to get ehr to do teh work if it is already pains. I am sorry. I watched a friend who worked for IBM back in the early 90s max out over 30 credit cards and then try to commit suicide. It was an ugly mess. [/QUOTE]
