One week later...SD19 needs money

And I knew it. DH opened that door when we ran into SD19 while grocery shopping. I deleted previous posts with the history on this. 

 

DH text me at work yesterday afternoon. "SD19 wants to borrow $50"

For what? 

She's moving, has to pay a deposit.

A $50 deposit? (...already loosing its credibility..)

No, she has to pay for a background check.

OHHH Okay...(makes more sense now..)

So I asked DH, she said she's bringing home $450/week...whats she doing with her money?

I don't know, she just needs the $50 now to get this done. 

Asked DH again..I thought Roomie's (drug addicted) Mother was "holding" her money for her?

DH : Ohhhhh yeahhhh..wheres that money at?

Good question DH...stay with me here. (Does he not think of ANYTHING????!!!!)

I mean the druggie mom probably kept it and isn't going to give her anything back, lets be real. 

Honestly, if $50 bucks gets he out of there and your DH can stop worrying so much, it might be $50 well spent.

I thought the same and didn't fight it. Just planting the seed. 

And I know something is really wrong with the mother "holding" her money. But she's got to learn some how I guess.

And yes..if 50 bucks keeps her on her merry way then so be it.

My theory:

She owes Roomie's BM $50 for some drugs, and Roomie's BM is threatening to kick her out if she doesn't produce it. OR, SD has run out of credit with the BM and needs the $50 for her next fix. Your choice on which seems more plausible.

I'll take 'The Next Fix' for 1000 Alex.

I learned all of this with my DS.  Thankfully he grew up and out of that shit.  I see it with DSO 20yo but DSO can't connect the dots at all.

I've lived in many apartments and NEVER had to pay for my own background check.

Borrow? Haha! So, he would make sure she paid it back, right?

Really, he should not give her cash, anyway. It's one thing to buy her some groceries if he thinks she's not eating but no cash.

DRUG MONEY!! Meth Mouth used to do this, she used to actually go to the school where grand hag used to teach and "borrow" 50 bucks from her mommy to go buy more meth!

 "SD19 wants to borrow $50". I love how skids always use the word "borrow".

I refer to it as an interest free loan. They have no interest paying you back.
