Just checking in, and telling you guys what up with my life. Well I'm finally in therapy, hopefully it helps me with my emotional and social issues. Life is sorta okay for the most part, not drowning completely yet. Though one of my friend's moms seems to want to push are heads under the water. This is the story:
The military screwed up on our travel plans, so we ended up having to leave our car in New Jersey, we had to get it off the lot, and had been trying to find a way for almost a month (after 30 days, they'd tow it) Friend had relatives in NJ, they agreed to help, and changed their minds, but didn't tell us until 2 days before it'd be towed. Friend's mom agreed to help because relatives were stupid. We agreed that her travel expenses would be $600, that would cover gas, food, and one emergency motel. She said she wouldn't need hotels because she was going to be visiting relatives on the way back. We also had to pay for her granddaughter (4yrs) because she didn't have anyone to watch her for the week. Getting the car off the lot ended up costing $500, so we sent her more money to cover it. She would text me once a day to tell me where she was, and arrived safely.
Now here's the hiccups, when she came back she demanded we give her more money, because she spent more than what was agreed on her trip, and bought things that were not agreed upon with OUR money. I told her I needed the receipts and she was rude about it and wouldn't give us the receipts, and I guess she over drew on her bank account, so we gave her $250 so it wouldn't get overdrawn, when she finally gave us the receipts she was demanding more money for ridiculous things such as her time, and the fact she drove the car, as well as fishy purchases.
Well I sat for a few hours adding up the receipts multiple times and even had my husband add them up to double check, and all we owed her was $17.48, so we paid her that, and she has been demanding money ever since. She even had the gall to threaten to get my husband kicked out of the military, we told her if she wanted money she needed to give us receipts, and they were not to be ripped (she had a habit of ripping off the dates or where they were from), whited out (yes she did this too), or bank statements (Her husband was on a business trip in Denver at the same time).
We paid for her plane tickets, luggage charges, gas, food, and even 3 hotels, as well as gave her money to save her bank account, she says she has more receipts but she only wants to give us copies, and even went as far as saying my husband is judging her from my mother's point of view when my mother has been keeping her nose out of the whole affair.
And through out the whole thing the amount of money she says we owe her has been steadily increasing, and we have already spent well over $1200 on this whole issue. I've learned my lesson though...1. Never trust people with money, and 2. When a deal concerns money make sure you always get it in writing.
God...what a headache x_X
