[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 694972, member: 17720"] Wow, SWOT, it all sounds pretty toxic with ex. We have a friend who was very financially successful -- large house in the expensive part of town, vacation home in the mountains, lots of expensive trips, private school for the kids, etc. He was also overworked, extremely unhappy and an alcoholic. When he got sober, he cut down his work hours and the money tree got a lot more sparse. His wife did not like that. They ended up divorcing and he gave her just about every asset they had accumulated. His ex has since passed away, but his kids (now grown with kids of their own) still treat him like crap, unless they need something. It is all very sad to watch. I remember I heard someone say once, the only good thing about cancer and bankruptcy is you find out who your real friends are. I guess sometimes that applies to family too. [/QUOTE]
