It's usually best to take responsibility for your own decisions and actions. Unfortunately, when you have a propensity for making bad ones, you're also more likely to not want to take responsibility for them, instead casting them off on the other people who had the misfortune of being in your immediate proverbial vicinity. Being eternally financially bound to one of these liabilities through other accountabilities is not a great situation to be in. But, as with anything in life, the best you can do is make the most of where you're at.

After an amicable divorce from his ex-wife, which seemed to be being handled with levelheaded reasoning and a positive outlook, this guy was surprised by his ex-wife's repeated poor choices that put her in increasingly adverse financial situations. Things began to take a turn for the worse between the pair before his ex-wife sought to level a lawsuit against him, seeking to rewrite the financial decisions that had been made in their separation. A move that was going to backfire spectacularly.
