My family accuses me of stealing money from them...First, my mom then my sister....My mom had 100 dollars stole from her and now my sister had money come up missing.

DrPsych agony auntIt could be because your sister is being the light-fingered one and trying to deflect the blame away onto you...after all you do say it is odd to leave your purse on the porch! You could always leave a 'honey trap' of some kind to see if there is a thief in the family...

matron agony auntHave you ever stolen from them or anyone else in the past? cause that may be the reason they continue to point the finger at you, if you havent then you really need to ask your family why they continually accuse you of stealing from them and make them believe that you wouldn't do such a thing. Know one can tell you why they are being the way they are but them, so ask them x

They blame you because you have done something in your past, that has told them they cannot trust you. I suggest you sit and think about what happened and try to remember 'trust' is not something you get automatically, just because people love you in a family. . Trust is a sacred thing..it's a priviledge you earn in a family, through respectful, thoughtful behaviours. If you want to know why they blame you...sit down and have a chat with them. You do have a right to know why they are accusing you but I have a feeling you already know why. . Family members do NOT accuse others in their family...for no apparent reason. If after you realize why they accused you...then please realize that you may have earn their trust back, through small steps..it will be a long process, dear and I hope you are up for it. I wish you the best, dear. Good luck.
