Notes:-Evening walk with Haz who had an interview at planters today. Looks like he has a weekend job, has a trial day on Saturday. Very proud of him. It was Marions 5 year anniversary today so tough for Sas. Kept busy sorting out the boys rooms. Fitted Harrys new wardrobe last night so he now has more storage. Also had a WhatsApp message from Fran this morning saying she has taken £10 from mums account using her card. She was also texting me earlier to say she wanted to repay the £30 she borrowed from me last month. I said dont worry about repaying me and that withdrawing money using mums card must not happen again, mum cannot afford it, Sarah and I have told her repeatedly to come to us if she needs money. Fran ignored this and I think it was a test to see how we reacted. She was insisting on paying me via bacs so I said ok and you can also pay me the £10 so I can put it back in mums account. She did that then left a shitty message saying how she was so upset and how I had made her feel small, plus she didnt want to be involved with any further matters related to mum. Sarah re added her to the group but nether of us has responded. I feel really crap now, but Im so angry that Fran has put us in a situation where Ive had to spell out clearly that its not ok to take money from mum, I have had to limit the money in her account to stop the cash withdrawals, so further limiting mum’s independence. We have also reported the suspicious activity to the bank and social worker. If Fran was caught doing this she would lose her job. I think by removing mums cards and limiting the cash in her account its cut off a supply of money which has been helping Fran financially. She obviously has some problems but wont accept any help from us. By us offering to lend her money shes no longer got a secure source of cash that she doesnt need to repay. So im the bad guy now but I do feel like I need to protect mum….
