Ashley hates her daughter’s new husband. She knows that he is bad for her daughter and that this marriage isn’t going to last. So she has started a Go-Fund-Me to raise money for her daughter to get a divorce. She has already raised a few thousand dollars. The only problem is that her daughter doesn’t want to get a divorce. And now she’s angry at mom for suggesting it.
Jonathan: For panic button today, we have Ashley. Hey, Ashley.
Ashley: Hey, guys.
Jonathan: So, Ashley, you have a bit of a problem with people in your life who don’t like being prepared, who don’t like looking forward to a future that maybe they don’t think is so grand. You started a GoFundMe, and again, you’re just trying to be prepared for the inevitable. What’s going on?
Ashley: So my daughter, she’s 22, fresh out of college, just got married. And to be frank, I hate her new husband.
Jonathan: Oh, okay. Well, why? Why do you hate him?
Ashley: Well, first of all, he’s absolutely for sure cheating on her. And she won’t listen to me when I point these things out to her.
Jonathan: How do you know? Did he cheat on her before they were married? Or is he just cheating on her now?
Ashley: He hides his phone from her sometimes. Big red flag.
Ayla: Yeah, huge red flag.
Jonathan: Sure.
Ashley: He says that he is working late or staying at the gym. At work late in his office building.
Ayla: And you’re like, I’ve been around the block. I know these things because I’m a mama bear.
Ashley: She just says things like I can’t live by myself or whatever. She basically gave me all these excuses. And so I started a go Fund Me to fund her divorce fees.
Ayla: When you say you started a GoFundMe to pay for your daughter’s divorce, is. that even possible on GoFundMe?
Jonathan: Actually, because I knew we were getting on this call, I googled GoFundMe divorce. Yeah. And I don’t see anybody saying I’m funding my daughter’s divorce, but I do see a lot of ones funding divorces.
Ayla: I’ve been divorced once. It’s expensive.
Jonathan: People have goals of like 10 to $20,000. So what goal have you set?
Ashley: I think we’re setting it at like 15, just to recover.
