Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

did du check the vacuum, do u have a dog??? anything like that...maybe she hid it in the house and is planning to swipe it at another time....

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Oh god Liza I'm so sorry.

I think Theresa made really excellent points in her posts regarding the situation. Do you have a lock on your bedroom door? I know you dont want to have to live this way in your own home - but she needs to get the message some way or another.

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Oh no i'm so sorry i hope u find it.

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

I'm so sorry this happened. I hope it turns up. I hope your stepdaughter didn't take it but, if she did, I hope she realizes why what she did was wrong.

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Oh no! I bet it will turn up when you least expect it...you are in my thoughts!

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

I'm so, so sorry. That must be a terrible feeling. I hope you find it right away!!

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

I that your ring gets found. I think your Stepdaughter did it too. I have a feeling that soon it will pop up because maybe she'll put it back somewhere just so she can make you look like a monster for accusing her of stealing it.

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I hope you find your e-ring.

Would she hide it somewhere that if found the baby could be "blamed" for its disappearance? I am so sorry this happened it is devastating

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

So sorry you have been going through such a hard time with your stepdaughter. I hope your ring turns up.

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

I am so sorry your dealing with this.

I feel stealing ANYTHING from family is really sad.. Makeup is just as bad as a ring because its not hers to take. I am sure if she asked you to put some on her ect you would have said sure..

The ring, shows that she is trying to hurt you..


She needs help, I would have her mother strip her room looking for it .....

I also give you alot of strength during this..

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

i am so sorry you have to deal with this! i hope it turns up & everything works out

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Horrible! I hate to say it but I think Theresa's right as well. Have you ripped her entire room apart?

I know this is horrible & that she's your stepdaughter, but I can't even imagine wanting to have her back in my home.

Get a lock for your bedroom door & if she asks about it, tell her too many things have gone missing lately, followed by a long silence & stare.

She should feel the shame of letting down the one person who truly cared enough & had better expectations for her.

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Unfortunately, her bedroom at her moms house is disgustingly filthy and full of mountains of clothing - her mom has a problem and the whole house looks like one of those Oprah episodes... So that room hasnt been touched in years... and mom refuses to discipline her, so when I say its hopeless, it really is...

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...small update - I searched everywhere

I really looked everywhere - the craziest of places - I nearly tore apart the bathroom and my bedroom... I looked in the washer, dryer, laundry - every pocket in the laundry - even the bathroom garbage

The ring is completely gone

Re: My engagement ring is missing... I am devastated...small update - I searched everywhere

I have to say, when I first read the title of your post, my immediate thought was that your stepdaughter took it. I know it's terrible, but with everything that's been going on with her lately, this just seems like par for the course. I think a discussion with her is in order -- tell her how hurt you are about the ring being missing, tell her you are afraid she took it. Not really accusing her because she will become defensive, but instead try using a bit of guilt and fear that things are much worse with her than you thought, explaining to her that you were the one person who had the highest hopes for her and that this has totally let you down and etc, etc, etc. Don't tell her that you searched everywhere. Maybe, just maybe she will put it back, someplace where she thinks you will "find" it. Good luck. I really hope she does the right thing here.
