Not sure how to feel...family stealing.


Posted: Sep 28, 2012

Well I had family visit the other weekend and I discovered a bunch of my stuff in one of their bags because I had seen some things in the guess room sitting out I KNEW I had hidden in a drawer.  Upon further searching I discovered they had ransacked my bedroom, bathroom, guest room and total would have gotten away with about $100 of stuff.  I told the rest of the family that the family member was no longer part of my family to have such nerve as to completely invade my privacy and all of a sudden I become the horrible monster because they are a teen and I'm an adult and I need to forgive them immediately.  Are you kidding me?  Brushed the whole thing off as it's something to just give a little slap on the wrist for.  It took every ounce of my existence not to wring their neck.  Didn't even phase the family member, just went on about her day like lah-ti-da boy that sucks I don't get to take home all of that stuff .   This teen does not go without either, has so many clothes and lives in a really nice house and has so many priviledges it's ridiculous.  What would you do?  Appease your family and act like it didn't happen for the family love?   I feel like this is such a serious offense I just can't look past it, hell Wal-Mart sure doesn't.  You steal from them once and you aren't allowed in the store for the rest of your life.

Forgive him/her, then don't ever invite them to your home. If you do, have everything under lock and key. Unless they show remorse and are contrite, nothing else will work. Stay strong.

Forgive? Maybe. Forget? Never. And in order to forgive - that kid would owe me a HUGE apology.

(And just to be on the safe side, I would not allow them in my home again.)

Most of the time, it's not possible for a leopard to change his spots.

You dont forgive one for their benefit. You forgive for your - benefit. To free yourself from bad feelings.nm

You have every right to feel - as you do

Your family has demonstrated that they have no respect for you. They are entirely in the wrong in siding with the thief and treating your concerns with contempt. If it were my family members who had behaved like that, I would definitely be cutting off contact with them. I would no longer consider them members of my family. I would know that I would never be able to count on them, though I can guarantee you that people like that would expect everyone else to cater to their needs and whims. Be strong and build a good life without them. They don't deserve your attention.

Ok.  I am not sure what I need here but maybe some opinions would be great!!! I moved against my parents wishes (about a yr ago), I am 35 y/o and took my son (13 y/o)with me.  They wanted me to move to be near them after my divorce.  I did not want this and wanted to take my son  and make it on my own.  However the problems do not end there, my parents then tried to take my son from me.  I have been disowned by my mother after a strongly worded email stating if she ...

Family. Sep 12, 2012
I recently had the misfortunate opporunity to answer the phone from one of my family.  She started talking about things going on in her life and then felt the need to "dump" on me.  We are of the Caucasian race and she has a child who married a different race.  She proceeded to tell me (and I'm talking about almost to the point of yelling at me) how ashamed she is to belong to the race of white trash where nobody cares about anybody else but themselves.  The other race i ...

I would like to ask for prayer for my family. Just the highlights: Hubby has had 12 brain/head surgeries in the past 3 1/2 years and is now permanently disabled. Son's wife found out she was pregnant and moved out. Bank has foreclosed on our home of 16 years and wants us out by the 20th of June. Satan has had his hands in our business for too long. I am asking Jesus to shield us and help us to keep Satan at bay.   ...

Telling My FamilyDec 04, 2009
I've had a lesion growing on my arm since September and I took it to the doc, and it turns out is a basal cell carcinoma with elements of squamous cell, not yet biopsy proven.  Now, my background here is that my mother always felt I was a hypochondriac - her favorite saying was "you have more aches and pains than any other six kids!" so I'm always confused emotionally when it comes to health issues.  I don't want to be melodramatic, since, as MTs, we all know that this i ...

Hello:  Just need somewhere to get this off my mind. I had it out with my youngest niece today over her not going to her GED classes. "I have a headache, I'm tired."  Just all sorts of excuses.  I told her that I was angry with her, that attending classes is mandatory, that I was tired of her excuses.  She basically told me to F--- off and stormed to her room.  Background:  Niece is 18. She moved here with her mother (my sister) and my other niece in ...

So a few months ago my grandmother got pneumonia which lead to CHF and then she was put on a ventilator...before that the last time she was in the hospital was 25 years ago for a hysterectomy.

Family Problem...Apr 26, 2015
Hi :) I have a family problem.  I will give you some background information first.  Sorry for the length as I try to explain. I was raised in a small town by my mother and stepfather (she has been with him since I was 1, so for many years). I grew up with one sibling, my half-sister (my mom and stepdad's daughter). I always knew of my biological father.  I would see him at various events, and he was at my 6th grade graduation, although he never really said more to me than h ...

Immediate Family DynamicsJan 27, 2016
I come from a family who were all intact, that is, no divorce or overt abuse or anything of that nature. Because of that, I think they think I got it better than I actually did. In fact, my mother believes I've had an easy life. I've always had emotional problems and was on disability until a couple of years ago and became an MT. When I was younger, if therapists asked me about my upbringing, I never thought anything was attributed to any problem with my upbringing and thought it w ...

Diagnosing Family MembersNov 09, 2009
Ok, I'm sure this has happend to many of you. Your family members come to you for a diagnosis since "you hear it all the time". My sister has been complaining for a very long time now of severe mood swings, slowly putting on some weight, and thinning hair. I suggested she have her doctor check her thyroid since our mother has a thyroid issue. Well the test came back within normal limits (what ever that is, lol), but she had anemia with hemoglobin in the 7s. She had to have 5 iron fusions; s ...
