It'd be your own cousin!

Do you have a cousin that you don't want to hang out with or you don't want to come to your house? I do. One of my aunt has adopted son (A). She adopted him since he still in the womb because his biological mom didn't want to take care of him when he's born. When A 7yo my aunt decided to take one of my cousin (N) to live with her family so her son A won't feel so lonely. Later my aunt and her husband found out that N sometimes stole money. She (my cousin N) also asked A one time to be her partner in crime. My aunti and uncle frequently lost their money, when they confronted their son A, he told them everything. They were so mad and upset that my cousin N dare to steal money and even asked their son A to helped her. Both were pusnished and after that my adoptive cousin A do not want to help N anymore. N still stealing money when she had a chance, and my aunt knew that, still my aunt and uncle forgave her and still let her live with them. My aunt and uncle asked me to move in with them when I got my 1st job in the same city where they live. My aunt told me to be careful where I keep my money because N will steal it if she had a chance. I was careful with my money, but you know, sometimes she caught me off guards, then she stole my money. One time she used my phone to make a call and flirting with her boyfriend without telling me, she took out my simcard but I found it under her pillow. I was so pissed and mad and slap her once when I knew she cut the backside of my backpack and took all my money in my wallet. And then one day she did something tha made my uncle and aunt couldn't let N live with them anymore. She told all kids in the neighbourhood that my cousin A is not my aunt and uncle's real son, that he is not our family cos he is only adopted son. Some of the kids then asked my cousin A if he really adopted. So A went home, but my aunt and uncle wasn't home so he asked me if he is adopted. I said no, that's not true. I did't have the heart to say yes that's true and I didn't feel I have right to deliver the truth about his adoption. I asked him who told him, he said the neighbourhood kids told him and they were told by my cousin N. I love my cousin A so much, he is funny, smart and we got along well even thought we were 14 years apart, I never seen him as an adopted cousin, for me he is my real cousin. I was so mad and told my aunt and uncle about what N did. My aunt and uncle then send my cousin N back to her family, but they still send her money every month for her school fee because her family is poor and she has 8 siblings. I never contact her or talk to her whenever we have family gathering. I just can't open my heart for her. Now picturing she will live with my mom make me crazy. Since my dad passed away 5 years ago my sister in law and her children moved in with my mom, my brother works on cruise ship and only back home every 6 months. I have my own condo on the other side of the city, but I stay at my mom's house now for a while because of my injury. My mom, knows about N. In fact, all our family know about her track record. But my mom will always open her door for family and friends, especially N is her big brother's daughter. Though I will back to my own place and won't be here and live under the same roof when N come I still feel uncomfortable that she will live with my mom.

Wow, that's terrible she kept stealing! Especially when she got caught often. Though, in a way, your Aunt and Uncle didn't do anything to stop her by letting her stay there for as long while knowing she was. But it was still wrong of her. and I hope she has learned and wont do it to your mom and sister in law. We have family we don't care for, but not for stealing and stuff. Just the way they are, as a human being.

I hope she change now, because I won't stay still if she steal from mom and sister in law. I can't tell my mom to not allow her live with them because thats her house, but I'm that I'll be a complete stranger with her. I have some other family that my brothers and I don't care for because they always look down on us but my mom not like that , she is the one who always try to keep in touch with them even though they never respect her.

@mrswhitfield I mean, you can tell her that, but its up to her in the end being her house. my mom does the same, with her brother. But not with her sister, my aunt that caused too much issues for us by running her mouth.

@mrswhitfield maybe you can talk to her and tell her that everyone know about what she does. It might awaken her and she would stop stealing

I think N has Klepltomania, a psychological disorder of stealing she needs some professional help. It will never be easy and comfortable to stay with a person like her

I'm not sure if it's kleptomania or not. She steal money because she wants to buy things that she could not afford with her allowance.

@mrswhitfield But slowly it changes into habit and impulsive action. That's what is Klepltomania
