[QUOTE="slsh, post: 481938, member: 8"] JKF - I'm glad you decided not to bring him home on T-day. I think that removes the potential for blow ups over his obsession. As far as the stealing, can you warn in-laws to maybe lock their bedroom/remove valuable items from view? I know it's an inconvenience, and utterly mortifying, but... we have to do what we have to do, you know? And if he does steal? Again, I understand, totally mortifying for you but *not* how you raised him and certainly not your fault. I totally get that you're going to be a nervous wreck, but I hate that your T-day is going to be spent hovering over him. He needs to earn some trust back. If you don't feel safe with- him sleeping over at Christmas, don't have him do it. I know you feel bad but you absolutely positively have the right to feel safe in your own home. He's really violated your trust and made disturbing threats - it's only reasonable that he has to earn your trust back. It's not going to happen overnight, and it has to be on your timeline. Your feelings and comfort level matter here. Many gentle hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
