We got a call last evening from difficult child saying she had been arrested at the mall for shoplifting and was being taken to jail. So husband had to go up and bail her out since she has no monet and starts her orientation for her new job today.
I am beyond angry. Addiction is not difficult child's only flaw. She has been stealing since second grade. She didn't steal food or money for rent, she stole clothes with her friend because she has no money and wants nice things to wear. She could care less that her rent isnot paid nor her utilities and that collectors are calling all the time. She has no conscience, none. She does it for the thrill of it, just like sex and alcohol and drugs. She can stop drinking and using and she would still be in serious trouble.
She may be fired from this new job before she even starts now.
