Ex-Husband WithHolding Benefits To Children To Punish Ex-Wife
I don't know if my story (an old one that still affects me) qualifies for your topic or not.I was married to a vietnam vet who had violence issues and I was forced to separate from him because he would not seek help. He spent the next 10 years blaming me, and even punishing my children to get at me.
He had part ownership of the house but refused to do any repairs for up keep - he refused to help with special christmas gifts, saying child support covered everything. When I refused to take him back, he remarried just in time to cut me out of any veteran's benefits.
He died in his 40s because of agent orange, and didn't leave anything to me or the children in his will - again, to punish me. He had no other children and none by his second wife, but left her everything in his will.
I had to raise my children on my disability income and what I could earn as a writer and an artist (and you can guess how much that is). Being perpetually poor and perpetually borrowing money has now put me in danger of foreclosure and the victim of another system - our government -claiming to help, has ended up delaying help so long, it has pushed my lenders to initiate foreclosure.
