Her husband took all her money.#movie #film #shortvideo

In the 1960s, when our dad walked away from my mom and his kids, she was not allowed to open a bank account without a male signature. In desperation, she ended up walking the neighborhood, trying to find a good man who would not rip her off and open an account with her. Later, this man quietly removed his name and died from cancer a couple of years later. He never took a penny. Thank you, Earl. ❤

Kathy Bates is a true treasure. I admire this woman so much.

Every role Kathy Bates plays is so completely believable and engrossing

At the time I didn't know it but as a female, I was truly lucky at the age of 18 in 1971 to have my own savings account.
At 19 I was moving to another state. When I went to close the account, there wasn't any money in it. I asked how this could happen as I was the only one who had touched the passbook. They said it was probably my boyfriend or husband. I told them I had neither, and regardless mine was the only name on the account and was it the bank policy to give someones money to somebody other than the account holder?
Needless to say I left with my money that day.

My grandmother's estranged husband unsuccessfully tried to empty her bank acct. back in the late 1940s. He had enlisted in WW2, was eventually discharged in good health, but never came back home. He left her to fend for herself with their young child. She worked long hours as a "beauty operator" (hair stylist) for 10 cents an hour to support herself, young son, and mother in a small east Texas town. One day, she received an urgent call from her bank telling her that a man claiming to be her husband was trying to empty and close out her account. She rushed out of the beauty shop, leaving a client half done in the chair, and was at the bank in minutes. Needless to say, he got not a penny of her money and as they would say back then, "He was run out of town on a rail."

My mother and father had separate accounts in different banks. The manager at my mum's bank was a family friend. He told my dad that mum's account was overdrawn by (a few pounds). My dad smiled, walked into the bank next day with mum and closed her account, saying, loudly to all in the building, don't bank here, ladies, your account is not private. This was in the early 60's.

My grandma was born in 1917. She worked at the Giro Bank. She was not s secretary - she HAD a secretary. She taught me how to calculate tax in my head when i was a kid and took me to open my first bank account. I am so grateful for her - we were never taught about money or savings at the girls school that i went to. It was after she died i realised what badass she was! I miss her very much.

I heard this from a coworker, happened in the 1980s. She was a widow, of mature age, with a full-time job. She went to the bank regarding some mortgage issue. They allegedly told her they needed her husband's signature! The man had passed away - which part of "widow" didn't they understand?! When l wanted to buy my first car (used), the salesperson only adddressed my husband and insisted that he co-sign, which he refused. I was 35 years old with a full-time job and money in my purse! I simply got up and left the dealership without a word.

My husband had a bad check on our bank account and had someone deduct the funds from my business account. I had worked in the banking business in the operations department of a different bank. I went into the branch and asked who authorized the transaction. I simply told them that they had twenty four hours to fix it or I was going to the Banking Commissioner and they would both lose their jobs. They immediately fixed the problem.

Kathy Bates has been a magnificent actor from day one. She hasn’t gotten the credit or recognition she deserves.
I hope now Kathy Bates and other fantastic female actors get the praise they deserve.

My husband asked me to run our truck by the local dealership and get a trade in value. They dismissed me, called me Honey, and said to have my husband stop in when he got off work. Imagine their shock to find out the loan and truck was in my name and my credit union refused to give payoff without my permission, which I refused. Honey took her truck and traded at another dealership.

My grandfather did the same thing in the 50’s. He even went through the house, my grandmother’s purse, and even the kids’ money. He left my grandmother with 7 kids to raise. She couldn’t even read. She gave birth to 8 kids, one died as a baby, but the rest all made it to adulthood. She was an incredible woman.

In case no one else knows, the movie is called Delores Claiborne, and it’s a psychological thriller drama from 1995.
I have it on my must watch list when I can find it.🤔

So many heartbreaking comments about the abusive men in their lives. Thank you, Stephen King, for writing this story and giving wives the guts to leave their husbands.

They don’t call you when a complete stranger sells your house from under you, either. We should be able to sue the town.

As an adult with a 7 year old child and a husband of 10 years Sears told me that I couldn't open an account with them without my husband's signature. I was out shopping for school clothes for my daughter at the time and really liked a couple outfits at Sears, they agreed to hold them until my husband could get in to sign for my account. He went in alright, I've never seen him get so mad and tell these people off, he said they had disrespected me and wasted his time. He went on for several minutes to the manager. They ended up apologizing to me and my husband and said my husband didn't need to sign after all. Very satisfying transaction really

I was 16 in 1990. That summer I got a job. My mother dragged me to the bank to "open a checking acct"... I did not realize that she had not always been able to do this. I took it for granted, at the time. She never touched my money. But she is the one who taught me how to manage it. My father (who is a lovely 76 yr old ❤❤) was a "project manager" on multi mil dollar accts and didn't think women "could think rationally" when the numbers exceeded 1 billion dollars. My point, is that they were BOTH wonderful people ... But both very trapped by the "traditional" ideas of intelligence based on gender...
My beautiful dad recently told me... "I'm sry I underestimated you" 😢...best Xmas gift ever. And I'm 52

It's crazy to know that things things were happening after 1970. I was born in 1979, my mom had found out that my great-grandma bought land in SC in 1921(same year she had my grandma). Knowing what I know now, it's phenomenal that a Black Woman in the south could even do that when some women couldn't even open their own bank account in the 70s.
