Hello all. Today I have a very painful stroy to tell, not involving ED, but still very hurtful.
Let me start out by telling you about my cousin Morgan. She is twelve years old and like I said in my last entry, she was raised by parents addicted to drugs and alcohol. She was not taught any morals or values or told what was right and wrong. That still does not excuse the terrible thing she did though.
A couple days ago we went to an amusement park and invited her along. When she left in the morning, we noticed a ltitle while later that my camera was missing. My parents were quick to point the finger at Morgan, but I defended her, like always. They insisted she took it, but I said we should search around for awhile and see if it turned up. So for three whole days we searched relentlessly, retraced our steps, and went crazy trying to figure out where the camera was. Finally, I had had enough and was ready to consider the possibility that perhaps she has taken the camera. So I called her. She acted belligerent and coninued to deny she had the camera. She called me a "fat shit" because she knew it would get to me and make me shut up. But not this time I didn't. I continued to push her and ask her what the hell she did with my camera until finally, she hung up. At this point my mom called my great aunt, who is Morgan's great aunt also. My mom said "Auntie, we have a problem, Megan's camera is missing." My aunt replied "You've got a bigger problem. Yesterday she came to the house and took my picture with a camera, she said Megan gave it to her." WTF?!?! Did she honestly not think we were going to find out from each otehr that she had it?
So any ways, we decided to take a little trip down to her house and solve this. When we got there, I was crying and shaking because I was so upset that she betrayed me like that. After all three of us, me, my mom, and my aunt, confronted her, she proceeded to insist she didn't have the camera! My aunt just lost it and screamed "YOU TOOK MY PICTURE YESTERDAY YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She loved my aunt, so she started to cry also, but she kept saying she didn;t have it! Finally my mom said very icily "You will get that camera or else we are going to the police station." So my cousin went out into the woods to fetch my camera that she had thrown there. When I got it back I was astonished because it was so badly wrecked. She had ripped all of the buttons off, smashed the lens in, ripped the lens cover off, sctrached all the corners, punched in the flashbulb, dumped out the batteries and memory card, and peeled off the sticker on it. We trusted her and gave her everything! She acted nice and sweet to our faces, then stole the camera and destroyed it. When we asked her why she destroyed it, she said "It wasn't working so I banged it on the table." I said, "Morgan, this kind of damage wouldn't have happened from a bang on a table." She is a pathological liar and my heart is grieving the person I had come to trust and befriend.
It's not even about the money lost, more about the betryal and hurt she instilled on me. I am heartbroken.

oh my goodness. I don't even know what to say. That sucks about your camera and it sucks even more that Morgan is so disturbed that she had to do that. It sounds like she may need some serious help. I doubt her reason for doing it was directed at you or had anything to do with you. It was probably a manifestation of some other issue, so try not to take it to heart. I feel bad for her because she must be feeling awful to have been driven to act that way. Not that she has any excuse for her actions. You didn't do anything wrong. YOu were kind to her and she let you down. Sometimes people do that, but don't let it get you down. You should make her pay for that camera though.

I hate that you are going through this. In the end you know that you are so much better than her. You now know to have your guard up at all times. Hopefully now, she will be taught a lesson. I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hope your heart heals soon. I love you.

I'm sorry about the camera and I'm sorry Morgan did that your stuff. That is so terrible that she did that. You should make her pay for it. I mean you where so nice to her she had no reason to do that and act like that.

Oh this is terrible. I don't really know what to say. I think you should have her buy you a new one and she doesn't have the money of her own (not her parents) then she should work to repay you for the camera. Talk to your mom about it and see if you can have her do chores around your house to earn the money to buy you a new one. Distroying your camera so badly like that and lying about it is not right and she has to know that and learn from her mistake.

my gosh, i am so sorry to hear about this... my heart goes out to both you and your little cousin... while on the one hand it is not fair at all for her to take your belongings, lie to you, and destroy your things... on the other hand i think that this little girl must be so incredibly lost and confused to hurt and disrespect the person who defends her... it really is so sad... while it is not your responsibility to make things better for her, i am sure you love her very much... but at the same time she has betrayed you AND destroyed your camera... were you able to get the memory card back? if not, did you have the pictures on your computer yet? I hope so. I had my camera stolen a few months ago and it was so upsetting b/c i lost the photos from so many important things... that was what hurt me the most, but i knwo if someone i knew and loved had taken it, that would hurt even more... i am so sorry my friend...

Wow, this is horrible. I can't believe your own cousin would do that to you. All I can say is that I hope she gets the help she needs. It sounds like she has some deep issues to work through because I can't imagine someone doing something so hurtful to their own family..sorry this happened :(
