[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 355765, member: 2459"] First of all...hugs. Second of all....I would suggest it's time for you and husband to 1) decide together what your priorities are regarding difficult child and then 2) have a Come to Jesus/Higher power meeting with difficult child. He lives in YOUR house and you expect the rules of YOUR home to be respected. If difficult child chooses to do otherwise, he can find someplace else to live. Also, if there is ANY illegal activity going on in your home or with your belongings (such as your car), you will not hesitate to call the police to report your car stolen, your card stolen, etc. Set your limits, draw that line in the sand and then STICK TO IT. If you've done all you can effectively do at this point, it's time to bump things up a notch. I would also start literally locking up you wallet/purse/etc. and keep your car keys on you at all times. (also, hide any spare sets of keys.) Sleep with them under your pillow if you have to. This isn't just to keep difficult child from taking the car but to keep you and husband from being liable should anything happen. I would think that you would be liable if you knew difficult child was taking the car and you didn't do anything to report or prevent it, Know what I mean?? You and husband HAVE to be on the same page though and you both need to stick with decisions and/or consequences. [/QUOTE]
