Input: My mother is a lifelong drug addict, thief, con artist, etc. She has committed just about every crime except murder, although she was a witness in a murder trial. She stole from me, my grandparents, my friends, her friends, basically anyone that she gets close to. Not just small stuff,  as she has stolen cars, safes, credit cards, checkbooks, large TV's, family heirlooms and all sorts of expensive or sentimental things. 

When i went to the Marines, she took out $40,000 worth of credit cards in my name, sold all of my collectibles, and even sold my car! When i came back, i only had 2 boxes of clothes. 

She recently talked my granfather into giving her his house. He has Alzheimer's and dementia. She dropped him off at a nursing home and left. The problem is that she has power of attorney. She eventually brought him back home when she spent too much of his money to be able to afford paying for the nursing home. 

Needless to say, i haven't spoken to her in almost 10 years.

My grandmother keeps saying that her and my grandfather don't have a lot of time left and that she wants us to make up before she dies. My grandmother is the one who raised me because of my mother's drug problem. I don't go to the family gatherings like Thanksgiving or Christmas because they insist on inviting her. I don't want to be around her or have her influence my daughter.

Last time that i forgave her, i lost around $2,400 out of my bank account. I gave her a least 15 chances before. This is not an exaggeration. 

AITA for not wanting to talk to her?
