I find these stories about Brad being angry that Nancy was helping her friend(s) paint their homes in exchange for money to be soooo sad (if true). So he's ANGRY that she's actually trying to earn some money to pay for groceries? He wanted her and the girls to just go without? If he wasn't giving her enough money to cover expenses, and he wanted a divorce, and he resented having to pay alimony and child care, then WHY would he resent her doing something to make some money to cover said groceries and other necessities?
If this is true, I don't understand the WARPED thought process he had going on around this. He should have been thrilled that she was doing something to "earn her keep," as little as it might have been. Afterall, wasn't she a "spendthrift" according to him? Wouldn't her earning some $$ to help buy groceries be a GOOD THING?
Seriously. WTF would he have a problem with this?
If he was angry about it, then he's totally insane (but not in a criminally insane get-away-with-a-crime-due-to-insanity way, of course.)
