A friend of "Maron" who divorced from her verbally abusive ex-husband, who had been verbally abusive, is now pressuring her to live with him. Maron, who has a daughter by a former partner who had no interest in the girl, is taking an active interest in her grandchild, Lizzie, and Maron drives her to preschool an hour away from her ex's home. Her ex, who also has a child, accuses Maron of being selfish, thus perpetuating his verbal abuse. Despite this, Maron should maintain her separate residence and avoid being influenced by his ex's abuse. Her husband of 50 years, who spends over $2,000 per month on online purchases that exceed his wife's salary, has been causing a financial drain.
