I cancelled every credit card she had access to and drained our joint savings account, transferring the exact amount she had stolen—plus a little extra for “emotional damages”—back to my sister. I knew she was at the salon getting expensive highlights when I made the move.
When she tried to pay at the register, every single card was declined. She was humiliated and had to call her mother to come pay the bill. That’s when she called me screaming. I calmly interrupted her and said, “Since you said this isn’t a charity, I figured you wouldn’t mind paying for your own luxuries from now on. By the way, I sent the bank statements to your parents so they know exactly why you’re broke.”
I had her bags packed by the time she got home. She is now staying with her parents, who are absolutely mortified by her behavior. I filed for divorce the next morning, and my sister and I are living peacefully without her toxicity. She learned the hard way that greed has a price.
