[QUOTE="jeanne in CA, post: 627685, member: 18036"] "childofmine", I understand totally. Luckily, no one that we have told has done the "just curious" thing. I would want to choke them if they did. On the other end of the spectrum is my other brother (not the one who loaned me the $20,000). When I told him, he expressed outrage and sympathy and then said to give him a call some time. I felt like if he cared, he would call to check on us once in a while. I haven't heard another thing. I don't dwell on that either. People are who they are. He is not a bad guy but I can't help it feel like he would just rather not deal with our problems. He has a step-daughter about the same age as our difficult child who is perfect, of course so maybe he thinks what we have is contagious. He's not taking any chances. It's kind of funny in a way. "Witzend", you gave me the perfect response for what to tell people when they ask about her. Thank you. As for talking to our son-in-law's parents, the detective does not want us to do that for the simple reason that they would tell their son who would tell our daughter who would then start destroying evidence like computer stuff, etc. We do know that she has made a few smaller attempts (some successful and others not so much) to rip other people off and have reported those to the police as well. The police are following up on those by contacting the individuals involved. Family members who know the story still cannot believe she has not contacted us in the 13 months since we confronted her. But why would she? She knew she had stolen everything we had and also left us with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. She had every incentive to stay away. (It probably didn't help that I told her not to contact us again without an attorney.) Hard to say what she might be thinking. It is very possible that she believes that since it has been this long and she has not heard from the police that we have just decided to cut off all communication with her. She probably figures that if that is all she has to lose she can live with that. [/QUOTE]
