I had a brother that got hooked on crack with his live in girlfriend. They stole my mother blind. Stole checks from her and cleaned her account dry of the money that was there after my father died. They bounced a bunch of checks also.
The different stores started hounding my mom for the money. I made it good to the tune of almost 7k. Yes, 7k.
After he finally cleaned up, he had no choice. A year in the cross bar hotel will do that for you. I asked about repaying me what he had done. He basically gaffed it off saying he was so messed up he didn't remember any of it so he figured to him it never really happened.
I told him to never talk to me, contact me or attempt to tell his whore to talk to me. He is done to me and I feel much better for it. When we are at family functions, he stays on one side of the house, I stay on the the other.
Don't look for anything from her. It won't come.
