in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

DH spends like a millionaire when given opportunity. Buys coins from everyone who offers them. I have limited the amount he can charge on his Costco card after he charged a very expensive coin. I called the seller while it was still a "pending" charge & left a msg not to send it. They did anyway and I refused it at the post office. They have not credited me. I have appt with legal aid on 9/18 to see what legal recourse I have.

    Marfa, I'm sorry. Do you have POA for both finances and healthcare? If not, please see a CELA asap. Somehow you need to take control of his ability to put you in the poor house. That can happen in an instant, especially if there is a scam involved. But as you can see, he can do it without a scam too. We've had posts from others who have lost a lot of money because of this disease.
