So sad hearing about my brother's financial situation. He's been married to this girl for a little over 10 years now and since then I hear about their financial woes, they've gotten progressively worse. My brother is also retired army so he gets his VA/retirement... But his lazy wife does not work. My brother works from home and gets paid well doing that, then Uber eats/doordashes on the side... And now the situation has gotten worse that he's been donating plasma. I've helped him with money several times before, even asked today if he needed help but he declined, probably because I'm due with babies in two weeks. What gets me is that his wife actually did get a job for like 5 months in the 10 years they've been together but she recently quit. She's also able bodied, so why can't she donate plasma as well, I mean if she's not going to work.
She.does get child support from her ex, but I'm sure that's not even sufficient enough. And might I add, every time I used to go over to their house, it was always dirty, and my brother mostly always did the cooking.
I'm worry so much for my brother and his mental health, especially when I notice that his loser wife never hung around when my spouse and I would go over to visit, yeah now that I live in a different state, she happens to be near by him whenever I call to see how he's doing. I sense signs of emotional and financial abuse.
I am just sick to my stomach because she's a vile human and I feel like my brother is stuck and I just wish he'd want to help himself.
They also have two children together... Not including his two step children.
