AAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!
I hate myself for doing this, but it's either explode on MN or in real life. This is a damage limitation exercise 
. I am changing some non-essential details just in case
My parents are abroad for 3 months in the states. I have 2 elder sisters and 2 elder brothers.
Discovered yesterday that their house has been boken into and burgled. Locks and doors are broken, house ransacked, valuables and sentimental irreplaceable items taken. Every drawer, cupboard etc. emptied.
I had a mad dash to their house last night to talk to police. Have spent the day dealing with police, insurers, locksmiths, parents, damage, turmoil, lists of lost items, papers, everything. I ahve provided docs outlining details of police investigation, phone numbers, insurance policies, incident numbers and lists of stolen goods for parents to look at whislt abroad. DH and I ahve returned house to normal state, soothed distressed friend who discovered burglary, initatied insurance claims, etc. etc.
Passed all this on to siblings to keep them in the loop and ask them to keep eye out on ebay for stolen goods.
My brothers/sisters? AFter yesterday helping to track me down and realising that I would go and help, I have had precisely one text message late this afternoon along the lines of "I wish there was something I could do" (er....what, like come and help?!). No phone calls, no offers of help, no replies to email, nothing.
I should note that at least 2 of 'em are unemployed and can drive. I have 2 jobs, a full-time PhD to fail finish, no car.
AIBU to take my top off, and lie down in the middle of the road wailing and crying? Just wondering.
Thanks for listening. FEel slightly better now. My regular MN friends, who know who they are, please ignore SECOND MN meltdown in 3 days
