[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 620716, member: 1514"] Im going to offer another thought to this. Could she possibly have a personality disorder? Since you are all sure that drugs are not the issue then it has to be something else. Kleptomania doesnt really fit because she would then be stealing stupid stuff from everywhere. Not money but trinkets from stores that she couldnt possibly need. I knew a person who I am convinced had kleptomania and she couldnt even go anywhere...a store, a friends home, work...but what she didnt steal something. She would steal something stupid like nail polish from a friend's bathroom. I know she stole toilet paper from the bathroom's at her job when she made more than enough to buy it. She would come home with her pockets full of small things. This doesnt sound like your daughter. I really am wondering about borderline personality disorder or another one under the cluster b disorders. Someone asked if she worked...does she? Is she stealing because she just needs the money or is she doing it because can or is there some obsessive behavior behind it? No one just steals for no reason. Thats where I would start. Talk to the therapist about the reasoning behind her stealing. [/QUOTE]
