@sherryfrey, Welcome and thank you for your post!

I sense that there is a lot more to this than the short posts allow! and would probably be better handled by a professional counselor, who would be able to get the full story and then be in a better position to advise!

As stated, if the mother is doing this then it is illegal and could have serious consequences!


Quite a few things about this causes me some concern!
Why is the mother doing this? It goes against the normal love a mother has for her offspring! so there must be a reason, is it a cry for help?
Is the mother using the cards to obtain money or just goods? if the answer is money then why? has she a gambling problem, or paying somebody?
The reason must be established first for consideration as to what action is to be taken!

What Mercenary has said is true

Quote:

From what you describe is a very delicate matter between your boyfriend and his mother.

As Mercenary has said, the boyfriend should take action, any attempt by you to do anything that could result in action being taken against the mother, could result in you being blamed for the rest of your life ! Please consider this!

In a fairy tale world the following scenario could take place, Future daughter in law saves the day and gets mother arrested for forgery and son and everyone is happy, daughter in law and son ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after!
What is wrong with this scenario? A more likely one is that the daughter in law is blamed by one and all for dobbing in poor mum!!

Another area of concern, is that the providers of the credit card keep issuing credit cards to someone who has a bad credit rating? Again something is wrong here!

The boyfriend may be the only one who can fix this, as it is his cards that are being used! He may have a natural reluctance to confront his mother but it must eventually be done to avoid her getting into more trouble! maybe if he can be made to see this he will act?

There are many issues to address here and it may need the help of a counselor who can see the whole picture!
If you take action on your own, you risk being cast as the scapegoat and it would not be good to have a mother in law and husband blaming you for all their troubles for the rest of your life!!
The mother is not a rival, (you understand what I am saying here) but may need help! The boyfriend is the answer! He must help in this matter! good luck !
