Hi,
I have posted earlier about a concern that DH ex has been asking us for money (again). The situation has worsened, she is now declaring that she will be homeless in a matter of weeks unless we can give her $4k to move into a new rental property. She is suggesting that my husband takes out a payday loan (without telling me) if we don't have the money at hand to help. Failing this she will take their son and move into temp accommodation (caravan park) if we don't help. She has a sister, parents and a large circle of friends through church around her. These episodes seem common when things for us seem to be going well or we have an upcoming event. (Both true for us right now) I don't really know what to think - obviously we will offer to have SS full time while she sorts things out - but I doubt she will agree to this. How do we know this is a genuine emergency or a huge cry for attention ?
