Boy oh boy, is that a portrait of my first husband! Quick story to illustrate:
My exH is driving around on fumes. Not a cent in his pocket. He runs out of gas. He then calls me and asks if I'll come with my gas can and give him some gas. I tell him no. The next time he talks with our son he tells him he has no car. And now for the direct quote "Thanks to your mother my car got towed."
