It's time to transition

My son-in-law talked me into filing for my Social Security and now I'm in a dilemma. I didn't want to do it.

I am supposed to start receiving the money in May and I've noticed startling changes in my son-in-law. I know what it is and it upsets me. He wants control of the money so the head games have started. The reason I know this is my daughter told me the only time he is truly happy is when he figures things out and gets control.

I saw it in their marriage and I'm seeing it now. I am beside myself and don't want this to happen but it's coming I'm sure. That is why I wanted to move away.

I experienced it when he sold my Jaguar for me. I confronted it with him that he didn't give me all the money and he never denied it.

It isn't that I care about the money, it's the way he goes about it.

He quit buying groceries and he says things in front of me that makes me skeptical of his motives. For one thing, why didn't he have this shortage of money before now?

I have asked him a few time to take me and the kids to the movies and he says it's too expensive. I've asked him to buy veggies and fruits and he complains that they are outrageous and simply ignores my requests.

I know he is a good man but these head games cost him his marriage and now, I don't want to deal with it.

I told him the other day I was considering moving in with my son and his family and I simply want to leave. He immediately went grocery shopping and bought everything I ask for.

I see his ways coming out in the kids too and it makes me quiver. I don't know how to address these things with him and simply want to move.

I don't really want to move in with my son but I guess it's the only option till I can get on my feet.

I probably won't have access to the internet as my son is very poor and I know he hasn't had internet for a time now.

Damn it all anyways. I guess I used this time I've had at my son-in-laws for good things but think it may be coming to an end soon.

I wish I could be around people that work on what I work on. It would be nice to have a voice in the search and research but I guess for now, it isn't meant to be.
