I posted before about money and a trip to Newcastle which went horribly wrong.
I got a lot of good advice and I'm really grateful for it.
We are now dealing with the fall out of discovering that DPs mum had been stealing from him for years, since about 2012 by transferring money to herself from his account. She had his internet banking password. He completely trusted her. She also convinced him to take a loan out, said she would organise it, took out 3k more than he needed, pocketed the money and left him with repayments that are around double what she had initially told him. The amount she took from his bank account in the past year alone has been around 8k.
Obviously he has been an absolute idiot. No words.
She has been overly generous towards him, buying him presents and so on and on over the past 7 years.
All with guilt money that she had stolen.
I can't really get my head round it. I do love him and think he has been financially and domestically abused.
This has upset me on so many levels and I wondered if anyone has any wise words about it - I'm upset his trust has been betrayed by his own mother, that his financial security has been seriously threatened, that she lied and lied, that I very nearly got robbed by her or at the very least manipulated by her.
How could someone do this to their own son?
