To expand on my previous comment....
I can recall a time, shortly after my husband had taken all of the money and had all of our business income redirected into his girlfriend's bank account. I was numb. I had absolutely no money. All the credit cards were cancelled. I was hard pressed to put gas in my car. In sheer desperation I called my husband and begged him to give me money so I could buy food. He agreed to meet with me.
I remember this like it was yesterday. I met him in a parking lot. (He had recently moved into a very nice, large home overlooking a golf course, he drove a very nice car). He came out of his car (girlfriend sat in his car with a big smile on her face) and gave me an envelope with money. The envelope had my name written on it in his girlfriend's handwriting. He then produced a receipt that he demanded I sign for the money. The receipt was written in his girlfriend's handwriting. I know this as his girlfriend was the wife of one of our employee and she used to submit weekly pay records and receipts for her husband. Needless to say I told him to go fuck himself and dropped the receipt on the ground. This was MY money that he expected me to sign a receipt for. I had recently deposited several thousands of dollars in our account.
So yes, I guess I put my "big girl pants" on and took the prick to the cleaners.
I will never forget the desperation, frustration and total humiliation of that experience. I will never forget it.
I believe that we are all entitled to a certain amount of dignity in life. I hope no one has to go through that. I am outspoken when I see someone's dignity debased.
