I am so sorry this has happened to you,it also happened to me
My grandson wanted to borrow some money from me,
Then all of a sudden he said its ok, i had gone into the kitchen to make him a drink
I opened my purse to get him some money anyway and as i knew i only had change from a £20 note,i realised i had only a £5 note ,
I asked him outright, and he denied it, his friend was with him, so i knew it was one of them, but they were both there
I let it go, but told him i knew
I didnt have him in for a while, then decided it wasnt worth falling out over
Months later i actually caught him with £80 in his hand,from some money i had saved upstairs, i had thought more than once i should have had more, but put it down to me forgetting hOw much i had used myself
Apparently, he had been using the excuse of going to the toilet and sneaking into my room,
This particular time i thought he was a long time,so went upstairs to the bathroom, the door was open, so i went into my room and there he was caught redhanded
I didnt have him in again for about 2 years
I recently found out was for drugs
He is quite ill now,due to the drugs, and i have let him back,hes not on drugs now,and having counselling, but they have messed him up, he is paying me back at so much a week, but he isnt allowed out of my sight
Its one of the worst betrayals
OP i would try to find out why your grand daughter had stolen from you, i think she must have been desperate
I hope you can repair this rift between you
