[QUOTE="Mara11, post: 245371, member: 6818"] Yee gawds am I finding this one... I've watched S3 empty out his own larger items for years..guitars (one was a signed Paul Stanley electric), PSP, XBox, computer, games etc. I was really sad to see that stuff fade out...I didn't pay for them, his dad did. It wasn't up to me to feel badly about them, but I know that is how his dad was trying to show some sort of connection and the XBox 360 he earned with a perfect A1c (Diabetic quarterly blood sugar level). They all either went to pawnshops or to be used to barter for Pot or to help friends pay for their own rent/food/bail. He's been doing this since he was 15. I know S3 was taking things like cigs and food from his bro's houses. I knew he was going in to my room and taking all of my change and I hid his own lunch money, so I'd have it to give to him while he was at school. Then there was the taking of food from my room. I had to hide anything sweet or snacky in my room, but then he started finding my stash points. What really hurt was that twice I found a ring that my Granny had gotten made for me from a stone my Grandfather had gotten for her just before he passed on. The first time he didn't know I'd found it in his room. The second time I caught him wearing it and demanded it back and told him why it was important to me. I really don't want to have to lock my room, but it is time. Every time something goes missing he denies it to the teeth that he's had anything to do with it. Now, I have a nasty habit of my own of going through his room to see what was taken from my room. The latest was when I went through my DVD's for the first time in a year. HALF of them are just plain old gone. Clean ****** me off. Most of them I grab out of sale bins or racks from places like Blockbuster and they were hard to find there in the first place. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I told him I was going to be locking the house up tight during the day now (he is basically living away from here). His reaction was for me to leave his bedroom window open so he could get in..HUH? No clue that I'm telling him he's not allowed in unless I'm here now. I really don't want to have to be blunt and tell my child he's locked out on purpose, but it is heading that way. It is sad, and angering and painful to set up battle walls with my own son. I know that every thing I do to begin to defend myself and protect my own sanity will push him further and further away. :sad-little: [/QUOTE]
