Ever have a relative try or succeed in stealing money from you?

[no_hypocrisy]

3. A friend's wife was and is still doing it.

Both parties are over 70.

First, she squanders her pension and Soc. Security on Amazon purchases. You should see the piles of unopened packages in their home.

Second, she is disabled and is in constant pain. She has her adult son buying Oxycodone from street hustlers. So she needs more money that she doesn't have.

Third, more than three times, she has taken out a loan, forging her husband's/my friend's name -- and then not paying any of it back. They almost lost their home due to nonpayment.

Fourth, she knows his birthdate and SS #. She went behind his back online to get access to his bank account and without his permission, she took hundreds of dollars from him. And that money was needed to pay the utilities, municipal taxes, etc. (These are not rich people.)

And you're wondering, why my friend has said nothing, done nothing. Because he's afraid of her and her violent outbursts of anger.

Finally, the wife's last act: As she steals from her husband, they are left in dire financial straits. Her husband/my friend has had to go to his sister for "loans" (which will never be repaid) to keep their house from tax sales, even gas for his car. His wife knows this and expects her SIL to subsidize their expenses. (No more. SIL is on to his wife.)
