An Ungrateful Stepchild

[PistolPeteParticipant 27143]

Silverone—you’re a man of principle and honor—certainly an example to us all. Your experience re-confirms that obviously women have no conception of the abstract concepts of honor, loyalty etc.

I agree with PP. You’ve been a saint and savior to your ex. I see from your resolve that you’ve got it well n hand, but if I was between you and your c~~~ of a stepdaughter I’d drop her in her tacks before she could ever say a foul word to you in person.

Hindsight is 20/20. You should have taken the grandchild in and let her and her husband live in their car. No revolving door. It’s bad karma to wish bad onto people, but she’d be at the front of the line if I was willing to go there.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

How old is your Ex? I would think a woman in her situation would be receiving social security payments? Are those not enough to cover her rent, car, and basics?

I somewhat agree that a child should not be held responsible for taking care of their aging parents. Really, I don’t think there should be any obligation at all. It is yours/their money to do with as they see fit. If you chose to, it should be charity, not obligation.

Ok. Then do it.

She is 59. She only receives SSI, and that is all she’ll ever receive. She never worked enough to build up and Social Security retirement benefit. We were married for 16 years. In the whole time we were married, shie might have equaled my best year, and that was with inheritance. She wasn’t really a housewife. I hate to say it, but she was mostly a lay-about-lout with over $100,000 in student loans. That was forgiven after her heart surgery, so she doesn’t have to worry with that now. Doesn’t speak to highly of her, and by association, me, does it?

I don’t believe in female magic anymore. And will never again gut myself to make room for it. --Narwhal--

I believe, with that long of a marriage, she will receive the exact same SS payments as you. It doesn’t cost you anything, just the taxpayer.
