[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 592465, member: 1967"] MWM ~ I actually laughed when I read that. My daughter did the same thing. I never thought I would be grateful that she stole by sneaking instead of having the nerve to rifle through my purse in front of me. The things that we end up grateful for when we have a difficult child. :hammer: nervous ~ you are doing as well as you can under terrible circumstances. I agree that you should look into a criminal trespassing order against your son's friend. That way you can threaten to call the cops when he comes over and he obviously doesn't want to deal with the police. I didn't even know about them until we were trying to keep my difficult child from coming over to our house after we kicked her out and a wonderful policeman suggested it. He wrote it up right on the spot and it is good for a year. As hard as it is to do, keep calling the police every time your son gets out of line. Let him realize that you will not put up with that behavior. As any therapist will tell you . . . you cannot force your son to change his behavior or stop using drugs but you can change your behavior as to what you will tolerate from him and what you will allow in your house. Keep posting. This is an incredible place for advice and support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
