My cousin married a loser.
My grandparent warned her... My aunt had her back, because she felt like she went through the same thing (aunt is a former crack head, so is her husband. They met at rehab...)
My cousin... Is slow. She's not dumb per SE, but I think she lacks common sense. My cousin gets money from the state, or used to because her parents died (in the 80s). With her last bd, 'they' spent like $10,000 in the course of 2 or 3 months. I may be off on the amount and the time frame. But it was a lot of money in a little bit of imo me. For whatever reason they broke up. She married a Jamaican guy, who is here on my work a visa, but has been here for
years, enough to have 4 or 5 kids... When he and my cousin were dating she would give him $1,000 everytime she saw him....
He is apparently mentally abusive to my cousin. My aunt has tried to talk to her. Her husband told her if my aunt calls their phone again he'll rip it out of the wall. And if they (my cousin & aunt) talk via cell he'll turn if her cell phone.
Now he's telling my cousin he wants her to work. So he can have her taxes.
My cousin wants to leave, but he told her she can't leave with the kids (they have 1 daughter together, my cousin has two other daughters, and they have his son). My could is worried that if she leaves what will happen to his son (his mother is alive and well in NC or SC)
No one really wants to get involved because we know it'll be a back and forth situation filled with a lot of drama.
My aunt threatened to call immigration on him. I say, don't threaten, just do it.
