[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 632693, member: 18233"] Is this the first time she was ever arrested? If so, she should be out soon and won't be under too much duress with the law. Although, I can somewhat "understand" (for lack of a better word) as why to she is stealing from you, she feels entitled, but she is stealing from other people which is boggling my mind right now. Since you give her so much, why is she stealing? Could she be a kleptomaniac? I do understand that she has pretty major medical issues which really can't be ignored. Is there a happy medium some where here? You say you can't get her her own place, but she has stolen so much money from you. Are you sure that you can not? Can you rent her a very affordable studio apartment with utilities included so this way she will be out of your hair? Not sure where you live, but around here, a studio or even a one bedroom in a decent neighborhood furnished and all utilities included can be a total $600.00 a month. When she comes over to visit the kids, tell her she is only allowed in designated rooms. For example, if you have a two story house, allow her only on the first floor and keep money and valuable up stairs. Let her hold down a part time job for extra spending money or apply for disability. It's better than her stealing tens of thousands of dollars from you, no and at the same time helping her? This should be the end of it though. That is more than enough. [/QUOTE]
