    The caller already lost his sister and brother in law as family when they decided to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.
    I'd take them to court because he can at least get some of the money back. If he forgives and forgets, all they learned was he is a push over who won't fight back.

      At least this way, he will regain some measure of self-respect. He may not have noticed the theft while it was taking place, but he can at least handle it correctly once he has been made aware of it. The fact that it was done by a brother-in-law didn't matter to the brother-in-law while he was committing the crime, so it shouldn't matter to the brother-in-law while he is paying the figurative and literal price.

    He’s got to confront his sister and brother-in-law and demand they return the money, or at least a good portion of it. If they are not confronted by this guy (or through his attorney), then he’s emboldened them to repeat this behavior in another business. They got away with stealing from him, so what’s going to stop them from doing it again?

    Gonna take a while to forgive but I think this guy is just more mad at himself than anything. He's playing the could have should have game with himself and that just deteriorates you. Even though it was a shitload of money all he has to do is ask to get paid and have it in his mind that if he doesn't get one penny that he will be comfortable with that. It's time to create a new life and let go of the bitter one. How long can you be kicking yourself is the real question and how long will it take for you to be at the financial place you want be? Make those goals. Best of luck to that guy

  • @TheDjcarter1966
    @TheDjcarter1966 Před 3 lety +7

    Think most obvious thing is he can't forgive himself. Is his sister and brother in law living in a nice house, driving nice cars and going on vacations while you are struggling, unless they gambled it or were into drugs, how do you not notice that someone you are partners with who should be making same as you is living a higher lifestyle sounds like there might be more to the story. I think making a detailed record of exact what happened and how much they (I can't imagine the sister not knowing) stole, then simply passing it out to everyone in the family would be a nice start. You just let everyone know this is part of the therapy you have been prescribed and you just want everyone to know if it seems like you act differently towards your sister these days this is why and yo continue to work on forgiving them...the end

I'll be honest if they went that far and knew what they were doing was wrong then "forgiveness" has to be earned. First step would be to face consequences which means pursue legal actions against them. The family will never be the same regardless of whether or not you sue them so why not do the selfish thing since clearly they were being selfish.
