[QUOTE="jeanne in CA, post: 628998, member: 18036"] Hi MM, thank you for your words of encouragement. You are absolutely correct in your assumption that the reason my husband and daughter were not speaking at that time was due to her actions. We had found out that on the day I closed on the house in PA she had electronically transferred $10,000 out of his bank account into mine "because she knew I was having trouble with my accounts where the money for the house was coming from and didn't want me to have any problems at the closing meeting." My husband was notified by his bank about the $10,000 and assumed I had taken the $10,000 without his permission or knowledge. It created a horrible row at home as you can imagine since I had absolutely no knowledge of it at all. When I told her that her dad and I were fighting about this, she readily admitted what she had done and maintained that she had only done it to "help" me in case a problem arose. She talked to her dad at length and explained it to him, but of course, he was still terribly upset. The only thing that calmed him down was the thought that his $10,000 had gone for the purchase of the PA house and she hadn't just stolen it for her own use. The reason we were purchasing a home in PA was so that we could spend extended time with my family who almost all live in the area. My mother had recently passed away and I was devastated at the thought of losing the rest of them as well. I had nearly all of the household goods and furnishing that belonged to my parents and houses were not nearly as expensive there. I was determined that if my husband went along with my wishes on this, that I would purchase the house with my own funds and not jeopardize our financial security in any way. I know that sounds funny since married people don't really have his and her funds, but I had some money that was left to me from my parents, from my unused vacation credit when I retired, etc. it it was important to me that I did not impose on my husband because he had been so good in going along with my plan. For that reason, I was determined to return the $10,000 to him because I wanted him to have it back. I promised him that I would return it once I got my bank account straightened out. By that time, I had bank documents showing that his $10,000 was indeed safe in my account, but we now know the documents were fraudulent. She had already stolen so much money from my accounts that she was simply stealing from her dad to try to cover it up. While all of this was going on, and with things were so strained between all of us, she tells us she is pregnant and we have to regroup and start dealing with an upcoming wedding and baby. It was indeed a horrible time. I am not a forensic accountant but in examining the legitimate statements from the banks now, it appears that the $10,000 did not actually go into the purchase of the house, but rather, she just transferred it to my account and spent it there like she did with a lot of the rest of our money.
