I really appreciated my readings today and the exercises. Of late there has been a friend that has become more and more open about wanting everything that I have. It is as if she wants me life and family. At times she will ridicule certain people or things when she get very upset because she doesn't have certain things.
Sad to say and I haven't mentioned anything until last night when I mentioned it to my mother-in-law that I think the person has begun taking things. Now my friend knows all she has to do is ask and I will give her almost anything. I have bought groceries for her and clothes as well as taken her out to eat. So why steal.
At first when I was having a fund raiser for the church some of the money came up missing after she had been to the house. I thought maybe I miss counted. I moved it to a secret place and it never happened again. Then a few weeks ago she was eager to clean out my kitchen cabinets. So I went in there and told her where I wanted things. She was shocked and picked up a pile of stuff. I know when I went in there she looked like a kid in a candy shop. But she sad now if you ever get rid of this stuff give it to me. Then put the stuff away but was upset about it.
Last week she said she needed a box that I had to move some things. Which I didn't think anything of until she started acting funny when I came near. She held it up on her shoulder. Then when we got in the car she acted like she had to straighten the back seat up and buried the box. The stuff slid and I saw inside. It was stuff from the house. Not anything to make a fuss over but still.
Now I am still giving her the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe I was just misreading things until the other day. She went to water some plants in pots my mother-in-law gave me. I went to get in the car to go to church and the small pot was missing. I mentioned it and she acted surprised. She said well maybe your mother-in-law took it home. I check the next day and she didn't take it home.
So if I see the plant at my friends new house then I will know that she took it.
Why she is so obsessed with having everything I have I don't know. But even on her birthday I took her out and then took her to get a new out fit. My mother-in-law had bought me a couple of new outfits to encourage me on my weight loss. I will soon be in them.
Would you believe she picked out the same exact outfit and said now we can dress like twins when we go to church.
So as you can see I really needed the readings and exercises today. I can't say I am angry but hurt and bewildered at her actions.
