Dear Eric: I will be dog-sitting my sister and her husband’s dog in Hawaii when they go away for a 10-day vacation. The husband almost always accuses me of “stealing” something from their home, which I never do because I don’t need anything! He even went as far as accusing me of stealing an heirloom my jeweler grandfather had made and left to me.
The husband sent countless accusatory messages saying that I stole it. He even told me I could have it before he changed his mind about it. The situation lasted for years with no communication from him or my sister.
