Update: I stopped at the bank this a.m. and the deposit was a direct deposit (small $$) from State Unemployment Benefits to our GGS16 account. SD is unemployed right now and works a job long enough to collect unemployment for 1 year and then finds a new job; whatever! The other two accounts are GGS18 and GGD18; they will graduate from HS this Spring.

My guess is DH brought up the fact that she closed the accounts out and we had been making regular deposits for all of them. Keep in mind SD closed the accounts in December 2015; these two oldest do not graduate until June 2016. Knowledge of how SD works; she told DH that she closed the accounts for the graduates; don't have any idea her excuse why she would do it six months in advance, or why she closed YGGS16 account.

DH probably expressed he wanted to continue to deposit; therefore, now she is trying to refund YGGS16 the deposits that WE had made. SD probably told DH that the other will go for graduation.

I haven't said a word; DH will see all three bank statements. What I think: SD is playing games and she wants a response from me, NEVER. I didn't expect her to contribute to the accounts anyway, therefore, any deposits are welcome with no reply. This will be on DH.

I'm enjoying the $$$$$ flow for the kids. I think it's a hoot!

Update: DH noticed the strange deposit on our GGS16's savings account. DH ask SD55, a couple of days ago, if she made the deposit; she denied making the deposit.

Now yesterday I receive an email from SD55 (against boundaries/no social media). SD stated that she had closed the (3) Gkids (her son's children) accounts and put them in a sub-account that belonged to her. SD stated she didn't want the gkids to be able to get any of the $$$ and "blow it"; which I have no problem with, SD had set up these accounts, her business.

SD went on to ramble about how she "knew I set up new accounts and she had deposited $$$$ in each of YOUR three new accounts to cover anything YOU had previously deposited into MY accounts". What? SD made it sound as the accounts were MY accounts, blah..blah...blah. All accounts are in the Gkid's names with our name on the accounts also.

Ok, I printed the email and showed it to DH and told him it was no problem, but we had set up the savings accounts for the GGKids and the accounts were met to continue what we had been doing previously. I did not respond to SD's email; but I heard DH on the phone tell her "WE set the accounts up to continue depositing as previously. WE would decide when to hand the $$$ out to GGkids." DH also thanked SD for letting US know about the deposits she made; therefore SD knew DH had read the email.

This was great! #1 SD actually thought DH didn't know about the accounts; that's why she emailed me, instead of telling DH; even after DH had asked her about the deposit. #2 I loved the fact that DH used "WE" when following up by phone. #3 SD finally admitted to DH that she closed the accounts that had existed, and put them in her sub-account, whatever that is.

I let DH handle it all and never made any comment. I guess SD thinks we keep $$$$ secrets; I know for a fact she keeps $$$$ issues from her DH (son-in-law).

I knew she had been quiet too long; but I walked away from this one with a smile. This woman never stops with the control issues.

UPDATE since graduation! Yep, KARMA came home to visit AGAIN. SGGkids that graduated did not get their $$$$ that was saved for them from SD's closed accounts. SD56 (their grandmother) really stepped in it now.

Our phone rings three nights ago, one week after graduation of our two SGGkids18. SGS (SD's bio son) , father of these two graduates, is livid. DH is sitting beside me; so thinking fast, to keep my slate clean, I put the phone on speaker, so DH could hear all of the conversation.

Long story short, SD did NOT give the $$$$, that was in their accounts, to SGGkids for graduation; they were led to believe, from SD, they would be receiving it at age 18 and graduation from HS. SGS says the $$$ was never ear marked, but the kids had believed they would be receiving it, due to the fact that SD talked about the $$$$ all the time to them. When DH & I opened the new accounts, after SD had closed the others, we ear marked them for later, so they would build up $$$$ again; we notified SGS and SGGkids they were ear marked for later. Of course we put $$$ in a card for each, that did not come out of their accounts.

SGS also tells us that SD made a few statements about "Sammigirl" in a text; which he sent to us later. They were untrue statements and DH knew it; keep in mind DH is listening to this entire conversation, and read the text. SGS tells us he and his family sat down and decided they needed to disengage from SD and SIL; because SD would NOT discontinue the passive aggressive behavior she has demonstrated for several years. SGS had asked her to stop holding $$$ over his kids heads and SD is still doing it. SGS tells us (with DH listening) that he has told SD and SIL to stay away from him and his family. This is so sad! Kids probably won't see their $$$ for sure now. SGS tells us he also let SD know that he called us and that he sent us copies of all documentation SD had written about me.

Now KARMA comes into the picture. DH never believed me when I told him similar stories; now he hears it from his own grown GS. DH has not commented, he is very silent, and we have heard nothing from SD up the street. I love KARMA!
