Dear Sal,
I am with a man whose family I cannot understand. This family of four generations is very close (every holiday and birthday) is spent together. For a large family this can get very consuming. While most of his family members are warm and kind, there is one who is on and off of drugs.
She is 25 and has been arrested multiple times mostly for drugs and theft; the two seem to go hand in hand.
There is not a member of the family who has been untouched by this lecherous sociopath. She cruises from job to job as she always manages to get fired, then the different family members always give her gas money, pay her phone bills and at the same time keep their purses locked out in their cars to keep the little psycho from robbing them. She steals from her parents, grandparents, cousins and then acts to their face like she adores them. So, the mindless cycle goes on with the victims constantly supporting her bad behavior.
Oh yes, I might add she has a baby, one more excuse for everyone to continue the charade. I just cannot agree with the situation as it appears to be getting worse by the year.
Do you have an opinion on this situation?
Big family member
Dear Big family member,
Well, this is a tough situation to be in, and because you are not directly related, I imagine that it makes it even more difficult. The family is not helping; recovery can only take place if the problem is addressed and no longer tolerated. Little Miss sounds like she may have some underlying mental problems that need to be taken care of. Many times people like that slip into drug use as a way to self-medicate. I don’t know if you have any influence in the family, however, I would bet if they all came together for intervention, there could be a positive outcome. If not, continue hiding your purse and watch your back.
Good luck truly,
Sal
