Hello all. I wrote a few weeks back, and we had decided not to continue bailing out DH's ex anymore financially having already given her a very substantial amount in addition to CM. She's had another "financial crisis" this week, and the fallout today has been intense.
She had told us months ago that the car she was driving DSDs in was unrepairable and broken, uninsured, and no MOT. So we bought her a new (used) car and paid for MOT, tax, and insurance. She's now written upset that the new vehicle has a tire which is slowly leaking and a list of other (minor) complaints which she wants us to fix since we bought the car for her.
She is also in need of another several thousand £ because of her work situation. We've declined to give it to her. She is quite shocked and upset by this as we've always given in before, and we've been subjected to a barrage of abusive language and threats.
Last year when she got herself in these straits, she claimed that she thought about "ending" herself and the children because she can't take it. We called the police who did a check and said she was fine.
DH is terrified (as am I) of how she will react given the past and her current language. We've contacted our solicitor and are waiting on a reply. Any (helpful) advice at all would be most welcome.
