Family advice...

I hate to be blunt, but there is only 2 possibilities:

1) the claim went through weeks ago and the money has been long since spent.

2) she accidently dropped your phone in the toilet/ down the stairs and doesnt want to make a claim for it being "lost"
 
Oh god... What one earth is she playing at?

Got a call "Hi, what network was the phone on? That's the last thing they are waiting on"...

WHAT? So she apologised and now has chased and asked me for the carrier details...

According to her, once this detail has been provided 'the nice lady on the phone' told my mum it will all go through very quickly.

My opinion has changed... Is it possible she never raised it before? And is only just going through it now? Would the insurance company even carry the claim out so far down the line?

Oh god, why can't she just be honest haha.
 
She stole your phone mate. She's actually a criminal mastermind and doesn't want you to find out. She's pulling strings with the Mafia, who have had to make a fake insurance company to handle your "claim". Nothing legit. Sorry. ;)
 
agnes, you seem remarkably calm about the fact that your mother has probably at best only recently contacted the insurance company and at worst pocketed the insurance money whilst also lying to you during the entire debacle.
 
Agnes you strike me as someone that despite making this thread, have already made your mind up that whatever happens, you would forgive your Mum regardless of her behaviour. The principle is what is important here. It doesn't matter if it was a claim for something worth £10. It's about trust and telling the truth. The lie may well be that she took 5 months to put the claim in and feels bad about it. It may be something more. Do you not feel the urge to find out even if it means being direct with her?

Well, knowing my mum and knowing me, if I get worked up and angry about it and start raising my voice/temper. Things will soar and it's not worth it.
 
I'd say she never made the claim in the first place. Your mum's behaviour is exactly the same as my gf's mother when she hasn't done something she should have; she tries to change the subject or claims that she's waiting on somebody else.
 
So because an argument may result, you are not man enough to confront her at the risk of upsetting her and her shouting back? I would put the priority of knowing you could trust your own mother at a higher level than whether she cries for 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to deny in your statement. It's a very fragile relationship. We are working on it, but it seems to be best if we both just got on with things rather than 'discuss' them. As her idea of discussing something is seeing who can become the most dramatic.

And I have better things to do. But, for the sake of keeping family family, we get along and are trying.
