Now that is not even reasonable thinking, you have to pay the bills first. I guess since she lost her home over this, she may start thinking a little differently.

In situations like this (and others) sometimes you have to sink to rock bottom before your eyes are opened to what you are really doing or allowing others to do to you.

wow. thats is hard to imagine that a parent would do that to his kid.

i can never imagine in my life, my dad doing something like that to me. if anything he would let me do that to him, if i really needed it.

good luck to your boyfriend, and not so much good luck to his dad

What I think is that we should always keep confidential informations like credit card numbers and social security numbers etc with ourselves and do not disclose it with anyone even in the home with family or with spouse. That is the only way I think we can prevent identity theft by family members. But it is also true that we cannot always hide it from our family members, but we can at least try to keep these things in our safe custody.

Identity theft may be made by your home members but it occurs mostly outside your home. Identity theft outside your home occurs mostly from your credit cards. So you should be alert while using cards. For this you must limit the number of cards you carry daily to a maximum of two and while making payments with these cards you should check while they swipe your cards.

Good advice Mary. I myself would limit it to one card that I actually carry on me. If it was a parent stealing your identity keeping SS numbers safe would be a really hard thing to do since they have accedss to them from birth. It just a shame that the people who know your most vital info would do something this rude.

Well with a mind set like that you can see where she would lose everything, how did she think it was even possible to survive it all thinking like this?

You definately need a better outlook and attitude to amke it in todays world. I was always told "if you think you got it ropugh,there are people out there that are worse off than you". My ex mother in laws favorite saying when you would complain...then she would turn around and gripe about her own problems...Go figure.

That about sums her up to a T. Another one of her favorite sayings was "what do you think about me, its even harder being my age" Sure it is Granny

That never works. Can you believe after we went in debt to move off the property that should have been righfully mine that they had the nerve to mail me the taxes? I about pooped my pants when I seen them. No note attached just taxes shoves into anothr envelope addressed to me.
