[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 696724, member: 20267"] My twin sister was finally rearrested, 6 months after having absconded from drug court. For most of that time, she steered clear of us. Hitting us up only for money here and there. Not once asking about her daughter. Which is fine by me. I adore the kid, and she is better off without her mother around, but it is still frustrating. Perplexing, even. There is absolutely NOTHING I wouldn't do for the baby, and I am not even the parent. How she can feel any less strongly than I do is beyond me. At any rate, for the last 2 weeks, or so, she has been around. Spending a majority of her time here. She is the most inconsiderate person on the planet. She is a slob of epic proportions. My aunt was happy with the situation, though. She felt that at least she would be safer here, with us. My uncle was guarded, and I kept to myself. She and I don't get along. The day before she was arrested, my aunt was talking to us about things that had gone missing over the last 2 years. None of which I had taken, though I HAVE stolen from them in the past. Sister of course denied all of it, and my aunt believed her over me. After she was arrested, my aunt was going through the :censored2: she dumped in the garage, and found much of those items. She was very hurt. She really laid into sister about it, angry and in tears. Next day, we get a post card from the jail confessing to stealing the very expensive camera, and telling us where she pawned it. My aunt felt that this was improvement of some sort, but I disagree. If she had sent it BEFORE my aunt found all of her stuff, I'd be a bit more generous about the post card. But she didn't. Which seems to suggest that she didn't send the post card out of remorse, or shame. Merely to preserve an incredibly beneficial (to her) relationship to my aunt. This also resulted in a tearful apology from my aunt, which was beyond uncomfortable, and certainly wasn't deserved. As I explained to her, I HAVE stolen from her in the past. The fact that I didn't steal THESE items doesn't erase that. She has every right to be hurt and angry. Thinking about the :censored2: I have taken from her, I still get a bit choked up, I visually cringe when the thought goes through my head. I feel sick, and shame. These are things I couldn't possibly have felt while still using. Which is how I was able to do it again and again and again. Not sure about your son wanting to send you some money. Was that offer made to you before he found out that you discovered the theft, or after? If it was only after, it was probably like it is with my sister. Not true remorse, but more of a gesture to keep you on board. [/QUOTE]
