Okay, I promise I'll try to quit being a dramaqueen with all my problems after this post. I know you guys are gettingextremely sick of it, I'm sure. However, I really do need some adviceand I am clueless as to where to turn.
My mother has two 33 year old sons. They lived with us up until wemoved out to the country 4 months ago. Now they bum off of a crackaddict friend. A few days before we moved, they tried to beat my dad,the cops were called, crack and heroinwas found on them,yadda yadda. Now just so you guys know, they are the black sheep of thefamily, and I am the complete opposite. Church going, don't cuss, don'tdrink, don't smoke, never touched drugs, ect. Just so no one judges*me* because of *them*.
Anyways, before we moved, since January, stuff of mine started turningup missing. DVD's, Xbox games, DVD player... they made up piles ofexcuses that they borrowed it, ect. Turns out, in August, we find outthey pawned all my stuff for cocain money. I'm furious, and the stuffstolen totaled well over $1,000. It was all stuff I had saved up andbought with my part-time job before college started. Now it's all gone.
So, we move out here and life is FINALLY normal for the first time inmy life. They are gone, and no physical, emotional, or verbal abusefrom them, and I couldn't be happier. However, my parents let them comeover several times, almost every weekend up until a few weeks ago. Istarted looking around and all the DVD's that I had went out and boughtto replace the stolen ones are gone. The entire DVD casehasbeen emptied. Every $50-$70 XBox game is gone. The entire XBox consoleand all accessories are gone.
I'm furious and I try to tell my mother that the stuff is gone and Iknow they took it since theyw ere left here alone more than once whenthey visited. She says, oh they wouldn't do that. They're done withstealing. (Might funny hundreds of dollars worth of jewelry turned upmissing at their friends house 2 days after they moved in there...andwas found a week later in the pawn shop down the road...).
So, she calls them and of course they deny it. However it took them 6months to admit they stole my stuff last time! Not to mention mymother's diamond engagement ring, and a brand new gas power weeder,allin which they stole before we moved. I'm so furious thatshe's taking up for them as she has ALWAYS done. To her they areperfect, when they are really just worthless thieves that no onetrusts. It kills me that now another $1,000, or more, worth of stuff isjust gone and there's nothing *I* can do about it. I would move out,but I'm in college and can barely pay for it, much less an apartment.Of course, when I mention moving out, she thinks it's great becausethen her sons could move in. Whoopee.
Thanks for listening, I think I'll go hug mybunny andhave a good cry now. I'm at my whits end.

Is there any way you can lock upall your valuables when they come over - I know it sounds extreme, butalso sounds necessary... Keep all your stuff in your room andinstall a lock on the door - even just a latch with a padlock so youcan lock it when you are not in it.
