Hi so backstory is, my nephew lost his gold chain a month ago he is 10, he is not sure where he lost it, but he had had a sleepover at mine.
My sil when she noticed it was missing msgd me to ask if I had seen it at mine as dn had lost it, I told her no haven't seen it anywhere.
She came over that same morning and had a look I was at work, children at home, she didn't find it.
For a few days she went a bit funny with me didn't really take much notice as she is very temperamental, then she came over and asked about necklace again, said someone must have taken it off as it couldn't just fall off , my ds said he found a half chain on the floor ages ago and we chucked it, ds wears chains too but not gold!
Anyway I helped my sil properly search my house no sign of dn chain. She repeatedly kept asking me for few weeks after if I had found it. I hadn't and would remind her she has searched my house.
Fast forward to yesterday my niece who is 7 mentioned to my other ds that my niece and nephew and my sil all think my younger son has stolen it!
My sil came over today and I told her we have not take dn chain, she completely denied having said anything of the kind and argument ensued, i know she initially thought we had taken the chain, as my brother mentioned to me that she did and that he had told her how she could even think that! she asked my niece why did she say that and my niece was crying loads with her hands over her ears.
Did I over react? We did shout at each other as my sil has form for taking offence at very little, she said she will never speak to me again , I told her to leave my house.
She has been subtleing accusing me/ds for last few weeks, my dn is known for losing things all the time.
Sorry for long post, but I can't sleep with it going over in my head.
I had to say something right?
