I've had a washing machine that hasn't worked properly for over a month and my husband insisted it was okay for me to keep restarting it the way I have been by sticking my hand underneath it and applying pressure to the pulley to get the thing to go. Of course, I have had to do this each time it stops while cycling and what a pain in the can it has been. I thought I might lose a finger a couple of times. My husband always has plenty of money for beer, bourbon and smoke, but not for a new washing machine for our family of five. I quit begging him to buy me one and asked my mom and dad for a loan so I could get a new machine. My husband flew into a rage when my mom showed up to come with me and the children to get a new washer. He called her a f***ing b**** and tried to manhandle her out the door. I nearly called the cops. I told him I had consulted a divorce attorney and that something would be happening soon. He proceeded to smash the glass in the storm door and then took all his tools out of the car that my folks own and insure for him to drive to work. I drive the 1993 minivan we own because of needing 3 carseats and the room in it for the children. So now, according to him, I get to drive the old blue bomber which needs a new muffler because I have threatened to divorce him. He gets the van which by the way has a driver's side door that hasn't been able to be opened for 2+ months and I've lived with it because he can't afford to take it to a dealer to get it fixed for me. Whew!
Did I mention I got a new washing machine today from my parents and I need to find a job to earn the $1000 retainer to start divorce proceedings???
