Dear Prudence,
My sister-in-law recently visited us twice in a two week period, going and coming from an event. We live half way from her event. She took an expensive ceramic brush without asking and refused to fess up. She used my bathroom and I moved some of my things to another bathroom. The brush was left in the bathroom she used. We are older women and have known each other for 30-plus yrs. Should I just let it go and forget it since my husband says she will never apologize… I don’t know how to handle this.
