Description

Dear Annie: I’ve been in a relationship with someone who has consistently treated me like a human ATM machine. Every chance he gets, he demands money from me -- often outrageous amounts -- and when I refuse, he throws a tantrum like a 50-something-year-old child. What’s worse is that he earns far more money than I do.
Recently, I’ve started standing up for myself, refusing to give in to his demands and asking him to repay the money he has already taken from me. However, whenever I bring up repayment, the conversation turns ugly. He lashes out, and in moments of anger, he cruelly referenced my struggles with self-harm, saying he wishes I would die.
I use self-harm as a way to cope with overwhelming feelings, but his words only deepen my pain and make it harder to manage. I feel trapped in this toxic dynamic and don’t know how to move forward. How can I protect myself emotionally and financially while addressing this behavior? -- Treated Like a Human ATM

We often come across drivers dealing with multiple issues: expired tags, lapsed insurance, or driving on a suspended license. Some of these might seem minor, but others carry serious consequences from the start. When they stack up, the risks grow. Tows, fines, and legal trouble can follow quickly. This is not about catching people off guard. It is about helping you stay ahead of problems before they get worse. If you're not sure where you stand, take time to check. We are here to help. Driving is a privilege, but it is also a shared responsibility. Let’s all do our part. #HillsboroPD #DrivePrepared #CommunitySafety
