My SO is in the middle of a long divorce battle. BM is drawing it out in hopes of a larger lump sum settlement. BM spends her money on things for herself instead of her son. Such as buying new clothes for herself, but dressing him in old clothes that barely fit him, especially when he comes to our house. She had the house originally, but after refusing to mediate divorce out of court & filing, she bought one adult cat & three kittens(!!!!), adding to the two adult dogs she already had. In short, she effectively ruined the entire house. Surprise, couldn't sell it then!
