Hi Waves,
I will agree with you that my father blew money like crazy buying 3 different RV's, 4 boats, gambling, and much more. I think that what really messed him up is how he had 7 affairs over the yrs while he was married to my mom who forgave him time after time. Now today my father has nothing left to his name he blew all his money over the yrs. and never started a retirement account.
I ask myself the question if maybe my dad isn't messed up because he sees how my brother and I are doing well with our finances and that we both have our homes almost paid off in full. Also when it came down to the divorce I had legal evidence up against my father that I told my mom's lawyer. So now all my dad has left to his name is his new girlfriend, who controls him like you wouldn't believe, where my mom has a house and all of the family. I think there's a lot of jealousy and I know that my dad's girlfriend is stopping him from seeing his grandchildren. It was after my dad left that he started the zoloft and I feel between the affairs he had and the guilty conscience that maybe the reason why he's acting so strange. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
