Am I eternally hopeful or in denial....?

[Silent Chrleader]

Hey, y'all!

I just found out today that S17 took my ATM card out of my wallet and took money out of my account without permission! I had given him my PIN so he could go get gas in the car the other day. Well, I noticed this morning that the front door was un-locked, and I remember specifically locking it! So, I knew he went out somewhere. When I asked him, he said he went to get one of his CD out of the car.

When I saw the withdrawal on my account, I called S17 and asked him about it but he denied it. So, I called the bank and found out that it was my card that was used day before last. The bank also told me that there had been an attempt last night, but with the wrong PIN. So, I called S17 back and told him that the bank was checking the photo files from the machine, so if he was lieing to me, he'd better come clean now! So, he admitted it. He got $70 out of my account for a "game" and tried to get $50 more last night, but accidently took the wrong card (the cards for my account and H and my joint account looks the same. So he used the wrong PIN........

I have tried to call H, but he is in meetings today. I know he is likely going to blow a gasket! I am so surprised and heartbroken at this! I really thought that S17 and I had a good understanding and now I feel like he was just BSing me like H said! Now, H is going to say "I told you so!!...." and this will solidify his assertions that S17 is just becoming a juvenile delinquent and it has nothing to do with our M sitch! I just hope H doesn't use this to completely give up on S17, as he has said he would do before!

I don't know what to do.......but I know that 2 hour C session we have for next week is even more necessary now. It should be interesting!

I am so tired right now. S17 is supposed to help H move out of his apartment and back to the house. I hope H just keeps S for the whole weekend and works his tail off! I plan to read and relax and, hopefully, rejuvinate!
