[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 36014, member: 97"] this was beautifully said by you, Jane: I understand that my gut feelings are usually correct--we need to protect our belongings from her and I will have to inspect her purse and bags when she is leaving our house. I think I am able to accept her for who she is--yes, she is not trustworthy, but she does have good qualities too--it isn't a black and white situation. I can love her despite her flaws and I don't accept responsibility for her flaws. If she would like to change her coping mechanisms she can get therapy. I can't change her but I can protect my family and still have a relationship with her. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation with her, at least not at this point. [/QUOTE]
