[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 669020, member: 19522"] Hi Patience welcome to the forum. You are not alone. I am so sorry for your troubles with your step daughter. Your wife is understandably in pain. It is a hard fact to face when our children fall in adulthood to drugs and thieving. I am missing heirloom rings my Nana gave me when I was a child. Who does that? My sons iPhone went missing from the charger on the counter. Who would steal such a thing from their little brother? The list goes on. I have two adult children with problems. Both of them deny stealing anything. Bull. I won't stand for it. I think my husband has finally come around. It takes time. We changed our locks and try to make our little house secure but the windows are really easy to get into. It is insanity. Crazy to have to go to extremes to protect your house because of your child. You have been very patient, but this is your house too. The article on the forum on detachment is very good. Encourage your wife to read it. There are some very good sites on the web about addiction and what it does to people. Patience, I am so sorry for your most recent loss of tools, especially the irreplaceable ones that hold special memories. You have taken the right step by changing your locks. Someone suggested we get security cameras, they are reasonably priced. I would definitely call the police. It is scary to think our adult children have accomplices. We deserve to be safe in our homes. Our adult children ripping us off is unacceptable, they do deserve to face consequences. In jail, perhaps your step-daughter will be forced to get help for her drug addictions. It sounds like she is sunken in deep to it. I sincerely hope your wife will see the light. It is hard when your partners eyes and heart are clouded over with memories of what was. In the meantime, you need to take steps to protect your home. Please let us know how things go. There are many here who have been in similar situations. We help one another. Keep strong and take care. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
