A hard question requiring deep thought and probing of the very soul. It has to be the point of time I remember so vividly after all these years. I made a cash offer to my husband of a payout to settle the divorce proceedings. It was a lot less than he was expecting. I even deducted the money I had lent him at one stage in the troubled marriage. I was in the side offices of the divorce courts a high rise black building...awe inspiring!. My lawyer was trying to get me to make a bigger offer and I was preparing to leave and continue the battle in court. Gosh this took a lot longer than our register wedding 15 years ago. My lawyer warned me that going to court would be a lot more expensive. I stood my ground I was the one who was going to have to take out a morgage on my house something I had never done....my quaint little house in an expensive near city suburb actually it was quite a big house and oh so comfortable without a morgage! She physically barred my exit by standing in front of the door way and she was a big woman. No I stood firm I was not offering a penny more It was my life, my decision. I repeated the offer adding that he had a drinking and gambling problem things I had not known about before I married him. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. Like a shot she was down the hall to negotiate with his lawyer and I was tempted to just leave and not give him anymore time to contemplate the offer. He reluctantly accepted as he had real money problems not even being able to pay his lawyer.He had borrowed from his father and other low life figures.The money was not enough to pay his debts and he borrowed later from our children who at that time were university students and did not have a lot of savings. They did not tell me of this later development.It was still not enough and he took his own life by gassing himself in the car. The end of his life was a great relief for me as he had threatened to end mine on numbers of occasions.It was his favourite conversation with the children during the bickering years. I cried at the morgue witnessing his cold white body. My son commented "mother I did not know you still cared"....I did not really not anymore but I had not wished him, my enemy, the father of my children, this dreadful end. His end came only a month after I had paid him out and taken out my first morgage and it was near father's day my youngest son's birthday not a happy time for this family but an end to a problem..........
