[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 84945, member: 3626"] Hon, right now you're too angry to feel bad about your son being gone. You have every right to be angry at him! He's made his choices. He's rejected every offer of help you've given him. He's picked his loser friends over his brother and his family. Not only that, he keeps abusing his family's love and trust by sneaking into your home (for now, it is not his home -- he's made sure of that). You do need to get your locks changed. Since the people you think were the thieves are coming around, I'd suggest you get an alarm system if you can afford it. Your home needs to be protected. These people know how to get into your home when no one is home. I wouldn't be surprised if they were knocking on the door just to see if someone was home. You need to protect your family from these punks! You also need to explain to your eldest that he cannot come to the house when no one is home and he most certainly cannot climb in through a window. Tell him the police are patrolling and if they see him breaking in there is nothing you can do to stop them from arresting him. What happens if he can't pay the fine? Will you and husband pay it? This is the time to discuss it with your husband -- before it you get the phone call to bail him out. If the two of you decide that you won't help him out, then you need to stand back and let your husband take care of it. Either don't answer your phone at all or just say you'll have to talk to husband, there's nothing you can do. Monday is going to be a very hard test for you. I'd understand no matter which you went. It is one thing to force a child out of your home so that they can grow up. It is another thing to chance them going to jail. At the same time, he made his choices. He may just have to live with them. I hope the wedding is beautiful, wonderful and a day of dreams. Hang in there! You doing great!!!! (P.S.: It might be time to start a new thread about the dirty test and fine.) [/QUOTE]
