In reply to the discussion: WTF? Alan Grayson's estranged wife is getting food stamps [View all]PDJane
(10,103 posts)And I don't suspect that she is going to allow someone into the house to make repairs. Mind you, that particular tactic can backfire; since she is living in Grayson's house, and she was not married to him (and lied about being able to marry him), at the very least, she could be declared non compos mentis. She could also be deemed to have been showing a pattern of lying and deception in order to avenge herself on Grayson. I don't recommend this kind of action, truly.
I am also going to point out that, if there is mould everywhere, why isn't she doing something about it? You can't say that she's a slave to Grayson, if the woman isn't doing anything but letting the mould grow and spread.
Yes, she lied about being single. That's just insanity, and you can't blame Grayson for that lie. Is he perfectly innocent? No, not likely, but he is not likely abusive (I'm sure his neighbours would have been willing to air that bit of linen, and the neighbours always know). Frankly, I would worry about his children, but I don't worry about a woman who lied herself into this position and is not, apparently, getting the one benefit she is entitled to, and that is child support.
Their entire life together has been a lie, and it wasn't Grayson himself who began with that lie.
