Dana had a very valuable thing that she treasured a lot.\n

Dana opened her letter, saying, \u201cI\u00a0and my\u00a0husband Derek have been happily married for over 17\u00a0years now. We\u00a0have 2\u00a0kids and our life has been happy in\u00a0its broadest meaning, until one thing happened that has jeopardized our relationship and trust between\u00a0us.\u201d\n

The woman revealed, \u201cWhen I\u00a0was 5\u00a0years old, my\u00a0beloved Nana gave me\u00a0her tea set. It\u00a0was given to\u00a0her by\u00a0her mother. She had no\u00a0daughters of\u00a0her own, and\u00a0I was the only girl of\u00a0her 15\u00a0grandchildren, so\u00a0she gave it\u00a0to\u00a0me. It\u2019s a\u00a0simple yet meaningful full bone china set.
\nI\u00a0doubt it\u00a0has any monetary value, but its sentimental value is\u00a0immeasurable for\u00a0me. I\u00a0treasured it\u00a0so\u00a0much, because it\u00a0was my\u00a0heritage from Nana. I\u00a0kept it\u00a0and used it\u00a0for many, many years. I\u00a0even wanted to\u00a0pass it\u00a0down to\u00a0my\u00a0own daughter or\u00a0granddaughter one day. My\u00a0husband Derek knows all of\u00a0this.\u201d\n\n

\n

The tea set was used in\u00a0the family and became a\u00a0part of\u00a0special traditions.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n

Dana revealed, \u201cDerek\u2019s sister and her family came to stay with us for a week. Every time I have their little girls over, I pull out my special tea set for a tea party. I make tea sandwiches, cakes and biscuits.
\nThis tradition has been alive for a long time in my family. My Nana also made tea parties a big deal with me, and I happily carry that tradition on. So me, my sister-in-law and her daughters had this afternoon tea party.\u201d\n

The woman wrote, \u201cIt was a couple of weeks after that I had my friend and her little daughters coming to visit us. I planned a special tea party. The whole morning I baked, made sandwiches, then I went to pull my tea set out, and it disappeared.
\nI usually keep it in a cabinet in my kitchen. I gently wash it and put it away every time until the next time. I was so sad when I saw it was missing, and I started looking for it. My friend came and left, and I still hadn\u2019t found it anywhere. The tea party and my mood were spoiled.\u201d\n

\n

Derek behaved in\u00a0a\u00a0normal way and Dana didn\u2019t suspect him.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n

Dana revealed, \u201cI\u00a0spent long days and weeks tearing my\u00a0house apart looking for my\u00a0valuable tea set. I\u00a0looked in\u00a0every cabinet, every drawer, every cupboard, the whole house was literally turned inside out. Derek even helped me\u00a0to\u00a0look for\u00a0it. He\u00a0was sympathetic, and he\u00a0expressed how pity it\u00a0was that the set was gone. He\u00a0also insisted that it\u00a0couldn\u2019t have grown feet and walk away on\u00a0its own.\u201d\n

Dana confessed, \u201cThat\u2019s what really gets to\u00a0me. Derek knew very well where it\u00a0was, but he\u00a0pretended that\u00a0I had misplaced\u00a0it. He\u00a0knew how upset\u00a0I was and tried to\u00a0comfort me\u00a0with promises to\u00a0buy me\u00a0a\u00a0new set. As\u00a0though a\u00a0new set could replace my\u00a0Nana\u2019s.\u201d\n

The woman revealed, \u201cA\u00a0few days later he\u00a0came home with a\u00a0cheap, thin looking set that he\u00a0found and bought at\u00a0some store. I\u00a0threw it\u00a0in\u00a0the bin. Call me\u00a0ungrateful if\u00a0you want, but\u00a0I was so\u00a0furious that he\u00a0couldn\u2019t understand how irreplaceable my\u00a0Nana\u2019s set was.
\nSomething I\u00a0treasure, something of\u00a0great sentimental value given to\u00a0me\u00a0by\u00a0my\u00a0long dead Nana couldn\u2019t be\u00a0replaced no\u00a0matter how much, or\u00a0little in\u00a0this case, the replacement cost.\u201d\n\n

\n

The shocking revelation came unexpectedly.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n

Dana wrote, \u201cOne day, I heard my husband on the phone. I heard him say that when we visit, to put \u2019something\u2019 away and tell Hailey (my niece\u2019s name) not to mention it because I\u2019m still upset about it. He didn\u2019t say the words \u2019tea set\u2019, but I knew, I just knew that\u2019s what he was talking about.\u201d The woman said, \u201cI walked in while Derek was still on the phone and called him a thief. He was like a deer in headlights. He instantly hung up and tried to explain. I wouldn\u2019t hear it. I told him to get my set back.\u201d\n

Dana revealed, \u201cDerek\u2019s sister called me and I also called her a thief. I told her to return my tea set in the same condition she took it, or I would be calling the police. Then I hung up on her. Derek tried reasoning with me. He told me his little niece loved it so much, and that kind of thing really is for little girls.
\nHe said he was about to talk to me about leaving it to her anyway, so where is the harm that she has it now. He said I was too old to be playing around with toys for kids and I really should grow up. He said I was immature and it means nothing. What he meant was that it means nothing to him, so I should forget it.\u201d\n

Dana wrote, \u201cThe next day I went to the police to report the theft. I also called my brother, who lives in the same city as my husband\u2019s sister. My brother went around and got my tea set.
\nMy husband was livid and spent a couple of days calling me a lot of derogatory names. Now, he\u2019s writing me long messages and he\u2019s apologizing for everything. But I want a divorce, immediately. I just feel I can\u2019t trust him anymore and my pain is too big.\u201d\n

And here\u2019s yet another story of a man, whose MIL shamelessly stole his valuable possessions, and when he found out what her aim was, he was raging.\n
