Yikes, Gud. She stopped paying and didn't tell you? Can you talk to her spiritual guide at her church? I mean, this puts your kids at risk, which is really scary and does sound like depression.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Gud, I hate to pile any worse news on you, but I'd start looking for credit cards you don't know about. Seriously, I've seen someone lose his house, his car and have to take out massive loans because of the wife's spending habits. Loans he's still paying off, even though they're divorced. I hope you don't find any, but it's so easy to conceal that kind of thing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
{{{Gud}}} I hope you find some peace soon.

Are secret credit cards the sort of thing that Gud could find by getting a copy of his credit report?
Gud -- I'm sorry things have been this crappy. I hate being in that situation -- bills late etc. Of course, when I do it, it's all my own fault.

Gud, you probably should get credit reports on your and her SS#s. At least they will tell you if there's something else out there that she hasn't paid. (Free credit report site - [link]

That's a good question, sumi. I'm not sure.

I don't think she'd do anything like that. I think the mystery is a string of one time health care costs and homeschooling supplies.

Oh, yeah, I can see where health care can definitely eat into the budget. It's scarey how expensive stuff that can be considered basic is. That's good, though, Gud. Better to know where it went than where it might have gone.

Ugh, Gud. It does sound like her depression to me, too. May there be a breakthrough.

Alright, I think I've got all the really important bills taken care of and after a couple of deposits I need to make clear. I should be able to clear out the less important accounts. Lots of past due stuff will get cleaned out, but I had to dip into savings more than I'd like to get it done.
