My mothers mother had Alzheimers. She does sometimes forget things were she put things and were she spent her money etc. She will tell you the same story 2 or 3 times. Quite possibly she could be getting it.
On the night in question we were all at a family do. She was the only one who did not take a drink. She went home early. We all went back to her house later for a sing song. I had a fight with my partner on the way there in the cab so as soon as we got in the house I went and sat in my sisters room and had a smoke. My sister and my partner followed me up and all sat on the bed trying to resolve the argument. My mother then popped her head in the door and I was upset and left the room woth her. We went into her room, and she went to fix the blanket on the bed before we sat on it. As she pulled it we saw a load of money scattered there, I said jokinly it was mine. She picked it up and said it must have been my fathers as he had been in the room getting something earlier. Perhaps it fell out of his pocket. So we sat and had a chat for a few mins. Then she left the room and went into my sisters room just across the hall, A min or so later my sister came and got me as my partner wanted to talk. I went back into my sisters room and made up with my partner. We went downstairs and had a few drinks then went home.
For 3 days my mother was laughing because she still had what she thought was my dads money and she was laughing at the fact that he was probally too chicken to ask for it back. Only yesterday she was doing her house keeping books and she realized that the money my brother had given her to save for him (€600) was missing from the safe. So she confronted my father who said the money wasn't his so it must be my brothers money. they were confused as to how it got on the bed.
Anyway now she's telling everyone, for the 1 or 2 mins I was left alone in her room I ran over to her safe, took the money and then either had a change of heart and just threw the money on the bed or I heard her coming and paniked and threw the money on the bed. I have tried to tell her that we both found the money together before she left the room but she just wont listen. Just because she was not drinking she thinks her story has to be correct. I wasn't drunk and I can remember everthing that night and so can my partner and sister.
i don't even know the code to her safe, nobody does but her and my father, when I tild her this she said I must of either guessed it or saw her enter it once. Even thou its on a dark place and when she's entereing it her head is totally blocking it as she's blind without her glasses and has to be up really close to see the numbers, so unless my head was on her shoulders there is no way I could of ever seen it.
I have (had) great resprect for my mother and would do anything for her. She has been very good to me and I would never do something like this to her. I'm distraught and extremley hurt over this accusation. I have spoken to my father and siblings and then just told me to forget about it and to move on and not to fall out with my mother over it, but I can't.
I will go to any lenghts to prove it wasn't me
