For the past two weeks my grandmother has been in Ireland on holidays and I've been living with my mum at home, looking after the family house. A week into my nan being away I felt like having a drink but I had no money, so I drunk her bottle of gin that she left behind. I knew that I would be getting paid before my nan gets back from her holidays and my intentions were to replace the bottle before she gets back ofc, otherwise I wouldn't have drank it if I wasn't able to replace it. She gets back home tonight.
Me and my mum share the same card as her money goes into my bank account, this is because her own account is in debt. Four days ago she was out somewhere and had my card and called me saying oh your money has came in early, I've taken nans board money out and I've taken another 20 out to replace the gin, which left me with 20 pounds left for myself, which I've now spent. She then went on to say that the bottle of gin is at her friends and she will get it within the next day or so, before my nan gets back.
Since then, whenever I ask her she keeps delaying it and promises that she will get it the next day and I am beginning to think that she's either spent the 20 pounds of mine that was to replace the gin or has drunk the bottle at her friends house. I asked her again this morning if she's going to go and get it before my nan gets back and her face expressions when I asked her, got me worried.
I'm beginning to think that there is no bottle at her friends house or it's empty and in a bin somewhere. My mum had the money that was mine to replace it, so I've done nothing wrong, all I've done is trust an idiot with my card it seems. I've also noticed that this morning she's been very argumentative, this is the personality she always portrays when she's done something wrong as it gives her an excuse to storm out and not have to face up to the consequences.
So her whole argumentative attitude is getting me worried that she's not actually replaced the bottle with the money of mine she once had. The annoying thing is that if this is the case she's the immature type to make up a **** and bull story and put the whole blame on me and make out that I drunk it and didn't give any money to replace it or something along those lines.
I really don't know how to approach my mum, if I keep asking she will storm out or something and if I don't say anything then my nan will come back and my mum will probably make up a load of lies and make me look at fault. Advice?
