She had already talked to the realtor to arrange the auction of his house, 300 acres of land, and all the cattle. We stopped the auction and I backed her into a wall and read her the riot act and threatened to wring her neck. Soon thereafter my father-in-law died and she thought she had it made with her half million. She died 6 months later and her kids blew through that money like Castor Oil through an old woman.

Take your friend off to the side and give him a little wake up call by pointing out your concerns. The very last thing he needs is a house boat especially one on the raging Mississippi River. Suggest that he kick that druggie out of the house and send his wife packing along with him. If you are not brave enough, get to his children or family members and express your concern for the welfare and wellbeing of your friend. His new wife demanding that he change the beneficiary on his life insurance over to her is a red flag and cause for great concern. He might die when she gets everything exactly like she wants it. jmo
He has no children and everything had was paid for until he met his new wife. He bought that doublewide for her and 4 months after she moved in she talked him into selling everything. Last week her and her son came over my house to see the new deck i put on and when I asked her where her husband was she told me " he's at home and I can't stand being over there with him." I ignore that and changed the conversation. Then he called me Monday and told me that he sold the house and was selling everything. I talked to him Monday night and he was dead set on doing it. His wife said that she called the realtor and he came up right away. He made a phone call and asked if he could show the house in an hour. They said it was ok. The buyer came and looked at it and said he wanted it. He was preapproved for a VA loan. However it had to have a full block foundation. When I went over there Monday the footer was already poured. He had sold some furniture to the Realtor and some to the neighbors. I called his friends from Columbia and Burkesville and they are coming down to talk to him. They are like me, they didn't like his new wife from the day they met her. We can all see what she is doing, but he can't see it!
