0:33.0	Like what?
0:36.0	Well, like some certain financial decisions.
0:41.0	He's kind of trying to start a business and things, but he's running the funds through the through our personal account and.
0:53.0	It's not leaving me.
0:55.0	He's the money to purchase groceries and just other decisions like, why on God's earth would you be supportive of him doing that?
1:07.0	Well, that's that's where I am. I'm frustrated because I'm being asked to support things that I can say no, I don't support this and I want it stopped ASAP.
1:24.0	You're going to have to figure out some other way dear, but I want the money in the account to take care of the home and the family. Put your foot down, use your brains, put your foot down and don't be a scaredy cat.

2:18.0	Sounds like he's a little boy just running doing his thing and you being scared and not saying anything because you don't want your husband mad. I don't want to mad either, but this is unacceptable.
2:32.0	When a man starts taking food away from his family, he put your foot down and you stop it.
