'$1k missing from my safe': Betrayed woman discovers that her sister stole $1,000 from her safe while hosting Thanksgiving dinner, so she considers skipping their family Christmas to avoid seeing her, despite family pressure to “forgive and forget”

Whether you're a multi-millionaire or rely on your pocket change to make it through the month, no one deserves to be stolen from, especially by their own family members. One penny or one thousand dollars both represent the same idea: an emphasis on dishonesty and betrayal. So when this woman learns that during Thanksgiving dinner, her own sister secretly snuck into her safe, and stole $1k, she was beyond disappointed…Not angry, not aggressive, disappointed. Because when you grow up braiding someone's hair and helping them get into their tutu's, you do not expect that years later, they will intentionally try to deceive you.

Now she's struggling to look her thief-labelled sister in the eyes, and it's beginning to affect their whole family this holiday season. As this woman simply can't commit to attending Christmas Day, knowing her sister will be present. What makes it even more difficult is that her parents are pushing her to take the path of forgiveness, when all she really wants to do is snuggle up on her couch with a cup of cocoa and never think about her sister ever again!

If this sister was in desperate need of money around the holidays, she should've just asked. Instead, so chose to create an in-family court case that brought about a lot of awkward conversations, resentment, and distance between family…Quite the opposite of what the holiday season should represent!
