Her Sister Stole Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Stuff From Her Years Ago, And Despite Her Sister Apologizing And Offering To Pay Her Back With Interest, She Still Doesn’t Want A Relationship
This 27-year-old woman’s older sister, 31, sadly battled with substance issues when they were younger. Her sister experienced common issues that others with addiction often go through.
No matter what her parents did to provide support for her sister, like taking her to rehabilitation centers and hospitals and bringing her to six different programs for youths, her sister always went back to her addiction.
“She stole from my parents, and especially me since I was less likely to notice stuff missing. She probably stole a couple of grand worth of stuff over a few years,” she said.
Her sister took money behind her back, as well as clothing, games, and books, so that she could trade or thrift them and earn money to fuel her addiction even further.
“Our parents kicked her out at 18, and by then, I was all done with her. She’d destroyed any trust or love I had,” she explained.
After that, her sister eventually hit “rock bottom” and spent some time in jail. Two or three years later, her sister finally took sobriety seriously and hadn’t used substances in eight years. Her sister has a son with her partner. However, she doesn’t want to have a relationship with her sister or even see or speak to her.
Her sister has attempted several times to tell her she’s sorry, writing her letters and calling her, but she hasn’t read the letters and refuses to answer her sister’s calls.
“She even tried to pay me back with interest, but that’s not the point of anything. I’m clear with my parents and family: I have no issue with them having a relationship with her. I’m happy to skip holidays and visit another time,” she shared.
Recently, her family has been trying to pressure her to see her sister. Last year, her sister invited her to her baby shower and to the delivery of her son, but she refused to go to both events. Over the holidays, her sister and her partner hosted a Christmas celebration, but she didn’t go to that, either.

When Christmas was over, her parents gave her a stern lecture and expressed how crushed they were that she refused to be around her sister. They told her that they were hoping for her to be at least amicable with her sister.
In response, she said that it’s her sister’s fault that the two of them have no relationship, and she doesn’t foresee that changing anytime soon because she’s not comfortable with it.
What advice would you give her?
