Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Mismanagement
Today, I discovered that my mother has been stealing from me to cover her mountain of debt. I’m barely making ends meet as it is. When I confronted her, she had the gall to suggest I get a second job to support her. FML

Should use a bank instead of a box.

First I'd confront her and if she doesn't agree to refund you you might have to try to take legal action depending on your age and how much she has stolen. I say age because if you're a kid there's sadly not much the courts can or will probably do.

Would you PM me so I can send you $10 to help you recover from your loss? I encourage other readers to follow my lead and help the OP get over this breach of trust.

Call the police. Press charges. A thief is a thief, regardless of what other titles they may hold.

I'm sorry for your losses. Maybe you need to not keep money where she can to it.

Easier said than done, and way to blame OP for being betrayed by someone who is supposed to be protect them, not **** them over. Seriously, what the ****. Why would you tell OP that maybe they should keep their money where their mom can't get it? I think they figured that out when they discovered the theft- and they obviously already thought the money was safe where it was, for them to have just discovered the theft. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but all it sounds like is that you're blaming OP for a) Trusting their mother b) Not having a bank account or an account that their mother doesn't have access to. Which, in case it isn't apparent, putting the blame on the victim of a crime or harmful act is a real dick move.
