[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 377421, member: 84"] Witz makes a very good point. If it were an aide or a stranger who had taken the jewelry your wife would not have reacted the same way. Perhaps getting her to see it from this point of view might help. Just because it was family does not make it right, does not make it less than stealing. Stealing is stealing. Period. The fact she lied shows you both that daughter knows it is wrong, even if wife is having issues admitting it. Perhaps your wife would benefit from reading a few posts here. My husband has done so on occasion when I thought the topic hit rather close to home especially in a area he just didn't seem to be getting. Your instincts are right. But it can be tough for some mothers to shift from the caretaker role to this person is an adult responsible for their behavior role........well heck it's tough for all of us, just some more so than others. Daughter will not learn if her mother will not let her learn. Just like with walking, riding a bike ect. Same thing just bigger. (((hugs))) I hear your frustration and understand it........been there done that. [/QUOTE]
