“I was feeling sad last week, I have no money, but I saw this jacket on sale…” “I don’t even care anymore” etc. I think he has taken, or is in the process of taking, her to the cleaners financially. Just on a human level, I do feel for her. He was such a dirty, lazy, loser of a husband who left her drowning through pregnancy, didn’t support her around the home etc, we all know that type of man

She knows her income ebbs and flows, so she was saving her money which is a smart thing to do as a woman, and I think he’s gone for her money. I don’t know up to date details about how family law court/custody/divorce etc works, but this is my guess. He doesn’t want full custody of the kids, but he wants her money as revenge for leaving.
