[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 430748, member: 3388"] This is a tough one but I think I would tell easy child/difficult child the truth too. If you try to hide this and she finds out about it, I agree with ML that this could cause betrayal and trust issues between the two of you. Even though what difficult child did is totally unacceptable, I don't think this one incident is going to be the one thing that permanently destroys their relationship. I think either you and husband or at least one of you needs to be present when difficult child confesses to easy child/difficult child that he was in her room, went through her things, and fed her fish. She has every right to be furious and difficult child needs to hear this. However, it doesn't give her the right to be verbally abusive, etc... You or husband will have to mediate this so it doesn't escalate to an unsafe point. If easy child/difficult child's fish die, I think difficult child should be made to do chores, etc. to earn money to replace them. So sorry you've had such a rough weekend! Thinking of you...
