No, I did not.  I just printed out all my statements yesterday and added up the totals. $2k  
I feel sick.

The app store purchases were things like chatgpt+ and a study app. Amazon items ranged from room decor and organization to sports equipment and jewelry. [/quote]

Um, some of this is on you OP. How did you not notice the charges?[/quote]

This! Get a budgeting app and every single purchase shows up and you have to put it into a category. My DS is studying abroad this semester so I see  every single thing he charges. I’d notice random purchases right away.

Plus $2k is a lot of money! Add to that she write down your card info and used it is terrible. Dad should be paying for things to decorate her room at his house. I’d come down hard on her for this. It isn’t like you gave her your card for emergencies. [/quote]

Oh and you need to get it out of your head that kids need two good parents to be raised properly. I’ve raised my son entirely on my own and there is no way he would have ever done something like this. Exert your control and realize she needs more monitoring. My son knows how hard I work just to cover even the basics. He would’ve known that spending my money without asking would’ve been financially devastating for us. Maybe you need to talk to her about the new realities of life now that you’re a single parent. Respect is earned and she’s got a lot of work to do. [/quote]

This is going to fall on deaf ears. So far OP has shown that she’d rather view this as her daughter being the victim of a bad dad than actually hold her accountable and come down on her with any real consequences. She’s fiddling with esim cell phone controls while the kid is stealing thousands from her AND blaming their sibling for the theft and then telling us we must’ve grown up with 2 good parents if we don’t understand her kid’s position.
