[QUOTE="KFld, post: 31039, member: 2442"] I keep coming back to this post because I'm hoping to say something that helps both your family and your son. You are getting it, you just aren't ready to react yet. That time will come when you least expect it. Up until the hour before I told my son he had to leave our house, I swore I would never be able to do it and that nothing he did could be bad enough that I would or could make him live on the streets. I went home from work one day and went online just to balance my check book. As I scrolled down I saw a check number that cleared that was way beyond the numbers I was currently using and clicked on view. Staring me in the face was a check written out to cash for $350.00 in my sons girlfriend's handwriting and signed by my son. I went straight to my checkbook and found more checks missing in between and called the bank immediatley. Luckily he hadn't cash anymore yet, but he had also taken checks from my line of credit checkbook, but luckily wasn't aware that if he could have gotten away with it, there was a huge limit on the amount he could have written. At that moment I knew what I had to do and there was no turning back, as he had become so desperate for drugs that he was willing to steal from us at any cost. We needed to protect ourselves and in return, protect him from himself. We called his cellphone, told him to come home and pack his bags and as soon as he left my husband changed the locks on the doors. Believe me it's an awful feeling to know you have to lock your own child out of his home. You will know the moment when you have to take action, whatever that action is, but you will know it and nobody can tell you when or where that will be. You'll know it in your heart!! [/QUOTE]
