Don’t Let Your Mother Answer for You
There is no allegation of anything against me in it.
Attached to it is a proposed settlement that gives me the house on Fenwick outright.
Not half.
All of it.
A house we had bought with a down payment that was two-thirds hers, because her grandmother had died in 2014 and left her nineteen thousand dollars and she had put every cent of it into that down payment.
She proposed to walk away from all of it.
There is a handwritten note in the file, on a legal pad page, from her attorney to mine, and it says: Client instructs — she does not want the house, does not want spousal support, wants this concluded before he returns.

My daughter filled three shopping carts, and when the cashier announced the total was 980 dollars, she ordered me in front of everyone, “Pay. It’s the least you can do for living with us.” I closed my wallet, said “No,” and walked away without arguing. She still didn’t know that later that night, I would stop paying for something far more important than groceries.
