[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 620609, member: 17542"] When my son stole from me, his father, his employer and the neighbors, it was to pay for drugs. He still denies it today even when I found tons of stuff from my jewelry box and garage in his car. If she has kleptomania, that is rooted in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as I am sure you know, and there is medication for that. I hope rehab can get to the bottom of what is going on with her and she gets help. If not, she WILL be in jail, and although it hurts so badly, that is where she belongs. There are so many difficult children talked about on this board who just...will...not...follow...the rules of society. We have rules to keep order. Without rules, there is chaos. That isn't fair to the rest of us. There is so much professional and personal help available for those who are trying as hard as they can to change. We all need help. Nobody can do this life alone successfully, no matter who you are. But if we spit in the face of help, there is nothing anybody can do. I am sorry for your family's pain, Shawn, and I do get it. You have gotten good advice here. Focus on yourself and start working a daily program of recovery. Prayers for you, your daughter and all of your family today. [/QUOTE]
