DEAR ABBY: My aunt is a money-hungry, conniving thief. From the time I was a baby, she always bought me gifts. But when her parents (my grandparents) died, she literally stole more than $200,000 from them. She claims my grandfather willed it all to her, which is not true because he detested her.

Do I have a right to be angry at her? -- MAD IN MICHIGAN DEAR MAD: I think so, and your mother has the right to be even angrier.

This is not to say you must maintain a relationship with this woman. Quite the contrary.

This was at a time when we were in a good place, and it meant the world to me that he thought enough of me to give them to me. They were the only things I had of his parents.
