The good news is that Nabal has stopped drinking completely. The bad news is that Nabal is now using crack. This fall is noticed he was home more than working. I leave at 10ish, it's hear his feet above hit the floor- no construction worker wakes at 10 for work. I billed a job for him a little over $10,000. Awaited it to catch up on bills. Never came... He was so out of it, he had to give/sub the rest of his job to one of his cohorts- the money went to them. I've realized all bills are on me- it'll be tight, but I can do it. Enter my vehicle, my money making vehicle that gets me to work. (I work a distance still to make better money.) 340,000 glorious Toyota miles! And the drivetrain is shot... I've sunk $1,000 into it since summer. Nope, can't wait, gotta get a new (to me) car- NOW. Alas it's been a good 12 years without a payment.
Back to Nabal. He's made a few thousand here and there- and spent it in a matter of a few days. He did buy some truck...for cash. (It's parked) Yet, he did not pay for his one truck, nor the insurance he's mandated to keep on his trucks- from his DUI. His 'paid for' truck has dead tags- he hasn't the money for either the tag renewal, nor yearly taxes. Plus he's got several tickets he's not addressed... Damn, it's done hit the fan. We are somewhere near rock bottom. God help me through this. And help him, and help him out of my life.
