[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 640193"] "He doesn't understand why I feel burdened having to decide the fate of somebody else" I am outraged that the weight of this decision has been put to you. It's not as though she's a minor or a relative or a friend that could deserve different consideration because of age or relationship. Her fate has always been in her hands. It's not your responsibility or obligation to protect her from the fruits of her decision to steal. If she ends up in jail or unemployed it's her fault and a result of her choices. This is not on your conscience and you need to put it back on hers. And if she is arrested - AFAIK - her fate will be in the hands of the (impartial) courts. Remember; you're the victim and not the judge/jury. She's harmed you and your dad - she made a conscious decision to open the mail, forge the endorsement, take it to the bank and actually cash the check- she had plenty of opportunity to change her mind. Let them prosecute her- protecting her out of compassion is not doing her any favors. I love your kind heart-and how your first instinct is to rescue people (and animals) and its a wonderful trait. But you should not extend it to her-this is a very different situation. Xo [/QUOTE]
