This could back fire - the family might think its just you causing trouble, she is obvious a skilled liar and deceiver and if she knows you are on to her, she may launch an offensive and you may end up ostracised
tread carefully but do something
I am having similar propbs with brother - no-one believes what he's up to except me and sis - because he more or less tells us and laughs! - but mum and dad won't hear a word against him - i am getting, deeds, land registry etc and intend to tape him soon.
family are often the worst for this - they take liberties and think you wouldn't get the law involved so they'll get away with it - or can talk their way out of anything.
Thank you for answers. Firstly joko, I once did tape her when I discovered that she had got my ex-boyfriend to pay for a new washing machine and there were suspicions of HOW she managed that. I never contacted her for 2 years and she got up to all sorts, mainly manipulating other members of the family. They did indeed see ME as a trouble-maker and I wondered why they had cooled down relations. I'm getting more nervous as time gets on as I bought the house with another sister just before my dad died, but the deeds were never altered and I suspect that when my mom does eventually go, she will Will the house to my sister who sponges off the state and is perfectly able to get a job, but won't. You're right, if it was stranger, a solictor would be consulted almost immeadiately, but since she is someone I grew up with this would make ME the callous one.
Spudqueen, thank you too for you reply, I have been in contact with two of my nieces who I never saw for two years because of being decieved and and still in shock since they have now children of their own, and I feel awful that I've missed out on them growing up, I will just have to gather as may FACTS for as long as it takes. But time is running out and if the house is Willed to my sister I know that things are going to get expensive for a solicitors advice (she would probably get legal aid) and then get everything I worked hard for. So the old saying that keeping your enemies close to you is becoming a reality for me.
Oh this is so typical of families...
My sister sucked up to my dad for years to get what she could - pleaded poverty, couldn't afford to buy the kids lunches, but has a huge house in the country, new car, lots in the bank !
I am one of four, but the only one witness to this, so I was the snitch and bad guy.
My partner's cousin is the same - the haircut example was a good one. No money ... but got a lovely new coif for over �100.
Sometimes inlaws are unbelievable, but Karma will fix it all eventually. Don't stoop to their level,
keep smiling!
