[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 269666, member: 1514"] I agree this is really the point when owning a difficult child becomes a nightmare. The sense of being violated just seems to go right through you. Because I have always lived in a mobile home since this became a real issue putting locks on my door was a moot point. Locks dont work well on flimsy mobile home doors. Its like putting locks on toilet paper...lol. Instead I ended up getting a safe but it took me years of knocking my head against a wall of trying to outwit him and I should have just done it sooner. As far as the phone....Oh I have so been there! When I first came here that was one of my first complaints and posts...lol. I had to have a phone or I probably would have cut the darn thing off. Cory met a girl on the internet and he started calling her in Month A. I got the bill for Month A and saw charges for about $750. I hit the fan. I called the phone company and got rid of long distance service and put a password on my account and worked with the phone company to try to figure out how to stop him. We thought we had him licked. Month 2 comes. More charges. He bypassed the no long distance service by using a 1-800 long distance service. Ok....we put blocks on my phone so that I couldnt call even 1800 numbers from my phone and I started taking my phone from the house everytime I left the house and my phone account was notated that a severely mentally ill person lived at that number. Oh...by the way...the charges that month were in the neighborhood of another $700. Month 3 comes. I am just sure that we have it licked. Oh no! He has just learned to borrow an old phone from a neighbor and hide it from me and now he calls the operator and dials calls using operator assistance! This is war now. Now the phone company completely blocks my phone number down. I cant call anything but local numbers. I cant call the operator, I cant call 1800, I cant call anything. I cant even call 411. I cant get collect calls either. That has been in effect for 10 years now and they dont charge me for it because he was mentally ill. All told....his little phone escapade costs us nearly 2K.
