Not a Happy Woman

[Janet]

When my husbands parents passed (father two years ago, stepmother in Feb.) he was left an inheritance. We finally sold the property and it closes today. Last night we were talking and I told him, besides investing, he needed to share some of that money with me and our son. I'm wanting new flooring and to put a new fence up for the doggies.

He told me "what about the dog money," and I said you know that is for the dogs. You see, when I had my last litter and will with this litter, I put the money in what I call the puppy fund. I use it for dog food, Vet visits, pee pads, etc and keep the rest (and there isn't much believe me) in the fund for whatever may come up for the doggies.

I was very much upset because he has always thought, what mine is his and what's his is his. I'm sick and tired of being the only one interested in keeping out house clean, up-to-date and having to try and save up enough money for new items for the house, not just for me, but for our family. He even put it in a separate checking account with only his name.

I realize there is nothing really anyone can say about this, but I just needed to vent. I wish I could still have my son, but start my life over. Since this is not possible, I'll just continue to know I made a BIG STUPID mistake. I just wish, well, it doesn't really matter...things will not be changing anytime soon, but my son graduates in 2009 and then maybe things will change...on my part at least!
