oh, and for the cherry on top:

Don't be surprised if when you take legal counsel you are advised of the follow:

"unlikely she acted alone"

"likely the people she is in cahoots with consider your life expendable"

"you might win but may end up spending the first recovered sums on a wheelchair or worse still, a coffin"

"yes you can win, but....[insert undersireable violent outcome of your choosing here]"

For those who doubt the veracity of this post, I will be happy to forward your pm'd mobile number to a man who can testify to the above being based on true stories. And this guy's wife faked her own death to swindle him!!!

The last thing I want is to take her to court and see her in jail.  For all the bad things she has done and is doing I still love the girl but that cannot overrule the everything.  I have tried to reason with her and get paperwork from her but she seems to want to do the opposite even though it might result in sorting out at least one or two of the properties.  Yesterday I went to the restaurant to pay the staff from the week or so they worked last month and found a new set of gates bolted and a For Sale sign outside.  my wife had told me the amount owing and said the interest was all payable as a lump sum at the end together with the capital.  I asked the lender why they had locked up the restaurant and they said read the contract (all in Thai) which says interest is payable monthly.  My lawyer had told me also it was all rolled up at the end and included in the sum on the contract.  I told them I didn't want to fight but was quite prepared to if reasonableness didn't prevail and that they had better have a good hard look at their contract since the interest charged was illegally high and they had signed for the amount paid - not only that but that the contract in its form only provided for repayment of the principal without interest.  I them asked if they wanted to be more accommodating and they decided they would be.  I will pay what was agreed because that is the way I am and in any case the less enemies you make here the better.So I have a little more time on the restaurant.

My 'wife' rang me this evening. I explained calmly that she must tell me the whole truth on what is owed when and what interest is due and when on all these loans so I can try to mitigate the position for both of us - I used simple words but her response was to let me hear the baby say daddy daddy daddy and then turn off the phone.  Sound familiar?  Childish and stupidly self-destructive.

It seems despite all my efforts she just wants to obstruct everything I am doing to help the position - I cannot imagine why.  I was a good husband - at least for the last 6 years - she has been half way around the world and had a good easy life never working.  What would make a person behave like that I have no idea.  She obviously doesn't care two hoots about anything including herself.  Doesn't leave me with many other option THAN to take her to court really - however much I don;t want to.
