Topic: Forcefeeding Davids Habit

Between Nikki giving David management control over the gala funds, giving him ownership in the house so he could borrow against it, and leaving her jewels and credit cards at his full disposal, it might as well be equated to her alcoholism and having someone just say 'all you have to do is open your mouth Nikki....i'll even pour it right in for you.'

No wonder Nikki has been sagging lately.  What was left of her brain oozed down and joined her boobs.

But the Defective Detective will come to the rescue in the nick of time and save the fair damsel in distress. Are we set for Nikki's tenth marriage (to Paul)? And Nikki in white? - Marilou

Nikki tells Vicky that she told her banker that David is not to be able to borrow against his share of the mansion. David signed the deed so fast, you would think he'd inherited Nikki's estate already. Another murder in the offing?

BUT... Nikki didn't think for one second that, if David divorces her, he will get half of the value of this multimillion-dollars mansion anyway.

If Dog Chow's name is on the deed, then it's his property, too and not 100% under Nikki's control. Dog Chow has certain rights and if she didn't want him to exercise them, then she shouldn't have put his name on the house. Nikki can't just instruct the bank not to let Dog Chow borrow against HIS OWN assets if he's legally entitled to do so. ~i&b

This is a joint property and, in order to get a loan against it, BOTH owners have to sign on it if they have not given each other power of attorney. When they have done so, both are solidarily (one or the other) entirely responsible for the totality of the loan. I know, because our house is in both our names, and to get a loan against it, we both have to sign or one gives a paper to the other entitling him to take this loan and only this one. - Marilou

Thus my use of the word ''if.'' ~i&b

Love you, i&b! - Marilou

I've been thinking much the same thing.  She needs to go to addiction family counselling or something to learn how to live with an addict. She keep saying she's doing these things to prove that she trusts him, but IMO she's just creating more temptation and stress for him.

You are right about Nikki needing counseling. David tells her repeatedly that he does not trust himself. How can you trust someone if they tell you themselves that they don't trust themself. Nikki is as stupid as they come.....psychdiva

It makes Nikki look either stupid or she is testing David to see if he truly can be trusted.  That's like letting some addicted to drugs work in a pharmacy or a hospital.  They may have all the right intentions and may want to stay sober, but the temptation is there.

Or like an alcoholic hanging out in bars, etc. Perhaps after a lengthy period of sobriety this would be ok, but in the initial stages it could be deadly to their recovery. I believe most addiction counsellors would agree. eom/faysie
