Ask the Counselor . . .

by SUSAN LAUTZ. LPC.

Dear Susan:
Last week I went shopping with a friend. I paid for my things at the register and she paid for hers. At least that’s what I thought. When we got out to the car she began unloading things from her purse and admitted to me that she had shoplifted them! I was just shocked. I have known this lady for years, she attends church regularly and serves on the PTA with me at our kids’ school. She told me that the store makes plenty of money and will get paid back for what is stolen with insurance money. Ever since this happened I’ve been uncomfortable spending time with her. This lady has overseen some of the PTA fundraisers including collecting and depositing money. Should I say anything? What and to whom?
Signed
Shocked and Amazed
