Let one of my family members steal a lot of money like that or forge my name and end up costing me money

I have a cousin like that. She finally got caught forging checks. I guess it was small amounts, so the owners didn’t catch on for awhile. What really pissed me off is when I found out she’d stole from my grandmas purse for years. It’s was $5 here, $10 there, enough my poor grandma didn’t notice. She lived off SSI, which was next to nothing. She did right at a year in jail and made the comment “it was the best time of my life”. She didn’t have to worry about her kids anymore and got free food and board. She lost her kids and was happy it happen. Just pathetic…

I also have a sister that’s almost the same, but here recently she’s showed signs of improvement. Got a part time job after not working for almost 15 years. But she stole thousands from my parents before they caught it. My dad doesn’t speak to her, but my mom does. And that’s where me and my mom differ. She’s a blood thicker than water person. I’m a friends are more family and family isn’t always friends person.
