[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 620717, member: 1550"] I agree with Janet. If your daughter is difficult and has trouble getting along with almost everyone plus lies and steals, I'd put my best guess on a personality disorder. They are very difficult to treat...the person has to REALLY want to change and try very hard for years. And they are very toxic to live with too because they are so self-centered. But I still wouldn't discount drugs. Even a rehab can be fooled. My daughter was a hardcore drug user and was in a psychiatric hospital for two weeks and they told us she had quit using because she said so...haha. They didn't see the signs and she told everyone she had quit. But that wasn't true. Drug users are very sneaky and I can't think of any other reason why she'd just steal such big items and so often UNLESS she has a personality disorder of some sort. But many personality disordered people also use drugs. It's hard to figure out the why of our grown kids. It's best just to take measures to ensure your own happiness, safety and peacefulness. They are over eighteen. They have to figure it out themselves now. For us to try to do it for them is to drive us to madness and it does NOT help them one bit. Just ask us how well it work...(grumble, grumble) [/QUOTE]
