about

I'm that person that everyone calls or e-mails when they need advice. It doesn't matter the subject, they contact me. I don't give you the answer you want to hear and most of my advice is not your mother's advice, if you want your mom's advice--Go ask your mom or mother figure. If you ask a question you will always get an honest answer--note: I did not say the answer you want-- I said an honest answer. If you ask me something I have to research to answer, I will research it and provide you with the source if you ask.

Well I posted something here a while ago about someone breaking into our house. Well when I walked home today, someone that lives on my street gave me this really dirty wallet asking if it belonged to my dad. He was getting his hedges cut when he found it in the hedges. I took out the first card I saw in it and it was my health card!

I said thank you and immediately went home and told my dad what happened and gave him the wallet and told him to call the police like right NOW.

He just said no and just took out the cards that he canceled, threw them away, and put the wallet on the window sill and walked away.

I was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? CALL THE POLICE!" But he kept saying no and was really quiet. It was like he was a totally different person.

I just...don't know what to do. He's supposed to call the police isn't he? I keep telling him to call the police but he keeps shaking his head and saying no. I don't get it. Could someone tell me if they know what he's feeling from his perspective? We should be calling the police! When our house was broken in, the police could not find any clues at all and now we have SOMETHING.

Your dad probably feels violated and as if he didn't protect his family. Rational or not it's how a lot of men feel when their house is broken into. He should call the police but now that your neighbor and you and your dad have all touched the wallet if may have smudged the prints if there were any. finding it in the neighbor's bush probably wouldn't help unless he knew who threw it there or has someone living in his house that could be suspected. My guess is that your dad wants to just move on. The only other option could be that he knows who broke into your home and doesn't want to talk about it. My dad reacted that way when he found out it was my brother who had broken into his house looking for money for drugs. He wouldn't turn him in. He finally told us but it was after we begged him to tell us what was happening and I asked him "did X do it?" and he said yes.
