I JUST posted that difficult child was doing well...
BUT in the last few days we've had things around the house begin to go missing again. Then I got difficult child's bank statement in the mail and I opened it. He has withdrawn $120 ($40 3x in 5 days) from his checking account. We have his checks and his debit card, so he must have gotten a ride to the bank each time to withdraw money directly. The money in that account is his car savings money and we made it clear he should not be spending it! (Thus why we have his debit card and checks) We have seen nothing new to account for the missing $120 which is disheartening to say the least.
Other than that, there are no outward signs of using again, but I am driving myself crazy!!!!!! As I sat in my Alanon meeting this morning, I just don't see HOW he can continue to live with us after he graduates high school in May. We told all of our children as long as they are in school, they can live at home for free and he says he's going to go to College when he graduates and plans to stay at home. I just don't know if I will be able to do it though. I want him out!!!! Of course the other side of me knows this would be the worst thing for him right now in his recovery. I'm just so tired and locking things up, and worrying what he's up to.
I know I'll come to my senses, but just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.
