My husband told me this is not the first time she has done something so crazy. she made her and her husband go bankrupt and stole a check from her other son ( and also opened things under his name also he just found out after us telling him) everything is still under investigation and we have not spoken to her since. she is denying everything but we have proof because all the billing address is her home address where my husband has NEVER lived. My husband has left everything up to the company's if they want to file charges. my question is isn't this a felony and what is the worst that could happen? we are trying to get everything fixed so we can purchase our first home! i am pissed and now hate my mother in law and i think she is crazy for doing this to her own children!
