When I was in the middle of a divorce from my first ex-husband, who was also an alcoholic, I was waiting for the child support to kick in. I took the kids over there for the weekend and he gave me some coupons he had cut out of the paper to "help" me.
Wasn't that nice?
I told him I needed some money not coupons. I can't use the coupons if I don't have any money. He half laughed and told me he had a jug full of pennies in his room.
I told him that I would take them. He thought I was kidding, I wasn’t.
He didn’t give them to me.
