[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 276872, member: 831"] So, he waltzes into my work-he usually comes here after he gets out of school-and is casual and acts like it's just a regular day. Luckily, I didn't have a class right at the moment. I tell him I spoke with his school counselor. No reaction. I tell him that she spoke with his friend and his friend had NO IDEA what she was talking about. Then, she contacted me to let me know. What is Son primarily concerned about?? He wants to know if she called me, or emailed me.:headache: I told him it didn't matter. The gig is up. He clung to his "friend/money/birthday" story with a tenacity that, I must admit, was impressive. He threw just about everything at me. He even said, "well, it's not like its a million dollars!" Apparently, if it's under a mother in law it doesn't qualify as stealing. :wornout: My next class came, so I had to set it aside. About 30 minutes later, while I was on the computer, he comes up close and whispers in my ear, "Okay, Mom, I will admit it, I took the money from your purse". After my class leaves, I ask him about the times he has had something stolen from him. He tells me about someone who was a former friend who stole something out of his backpack. I asked him, "So, now do you trust this person?" "No", he responds. I reply, "It is the same way I see you right now. I can't trust you because you have stolen from me" I ask him why. He's says he wanted to start a saving account. That is what he said he was going to do before "The confession". Now, when I look back over the last few days, he was very distraught when I wouldn't give him the money back. When he wasn't attacking me, he was crying. Actually it was more like wailing. He wailed that he wanted to open a savings account. He needed to have a savings account so that he could save for a car and get a job so he won't become a........ a hobo. I kid you not. A hobo. :whiteflag: Ohhhh-Ehhmmmmm-Geeee! Thanks everyone for the support and ideas. We see psychiatrist on the 15th. I like the idea of emailing first. I'm going to call and see if I can do something like that. I think I'm might look into therapy for me just so I can cope with this. I'm really terrified of the next 5 or 6 years. [/QUOTE]
