Ok, so 3 years ago I was really good friends with this girl that I worked with. She had a daughter and I believe that is the only reason I stayed friends with her...because I fell in love with her baby. Problem is looking back on our friendship I know that she took advantage of me BIG time. But of course I overlooked everything while we were friends. 3 years ago during the summer I went home during the summer because my college semester ended...I left a couple of boxes at her house and I trusted her...but I didn't realize I left the box with my checks and my jewelry but I trusted her so I didn't think anything of it...then the day before I am leaving to go back to college I check my bank account (I have one for my college and then one when I'm home because I have 2 banks). I of course didn't check my college account because I didn't use it at all during the summer...and I was negative $800. She wrote checks in my name and cashed them! I come back to FL (I had to get everything changed with my account and whatnot)...I had the choice of getting her arrested but I didn't want to because she is the only thing her daughter has. She signed a promisory note saying she was going to pay me back because she also opened credit cards in my name. She then disappeared off the face of the earth and randomly my best friend was on facebook and she looked up her name and she's on facebook. Should I leave well enough alone? I did get the money back from my bank account but not for my credit cards that I had to pay off because of her. Should I try to sue her or should I just ignore it and move on with my life?

You should sue her, baby or not. She should know that things like that don't go unpunished, perhaps it wasn't just you she did that too. It's hurtful, I know, but that's no way to show your baby responsible parenthood.
You got to do it, specially now that she has completely ran away from her responsibilities.
And on your part, it was negligence as well. Never trust a person that much, regardless the feeling. People take advantage because people are blinded.

Yeah I know that I'm partly to blame because I trusted her too much. I was too trusting, after she screwed me over, I haven't really let anyone into my life as fast as I let her into my life. I should sue her or I should actually see if there is a statute of limitations for her forging checks and get her arrested because that is a felony...maybe I'll take it that way because right now I don't really care about the money it's all paid off and I did get the majority of it back i just really want her to pay for what she did to me.
