[QUOTE="Star*, post: 161545, member: 4964"] Hey Hot dog, I wondered what happened to you and your little weiner dog picture. My mom sent me the same picture and it said Why dogs hate their owners. I dress mine up in tiaras, feather boas, Chuck connors converse and ball caps - we enjoy the time together. DF hates the pictures with the tiaras - but like I said me and the furperson - buddys for life. Stop second guessing yourself - you are doing ACES with your detachment 101. A+ mom - really. I too got to a point where I could NOT talk to Dude. I love that kid more than life, but could not look at him and would just sit and think OH GOD how peaceful when he was not here. After a while it became clear that we could not live under the same roof. My success story is that after so many placements we found a therapeutic foster family who realized at 17 he was mentally maybe 13 and took him in. He's still Dude - but he's not upset by living here and antagonizing me - he really didn't like doing that - but he was bored and it was poke the bear time dang near every minute of every day when he was here. I agree about not telling him when he's to be out. But don't you think he'll get the hint when you call the locksmith? WE changed EVERY lock in our house and the dog door was the only thing we didn't change. Our dogs are huge - and the one time he did come here - that's how he got in. Witz gave you stellar advice on what to do and how to protect your home. I would also advise having a floor safe put in and when you aren't home but your titles, any weapons, birth certificates, jewels in the safe. If you are also in like with your neighbors - tell them that your son is moving out, and if you go away and they see him around your house or his friends - to call police. Also if you do go away - call police to patrol your area, have your mail held at the post office and if you don't have someone in your home depending on where you live - sweep the sand in front of your door or put baby powder down on the carpet under every window and in front of the door - thieves are not going to take time to vacuum. Good grief we sure were a group that had been screwed over to be THIS cautious - but not any more - and not you at all if you can use some of this advice. If you do have friends stay at your home to sit - and I highly recommend it, make sure you let the police know, and still have them patrol. You can always give them license plates of people staying there - we did that and the police were fine with it. I planted holly and cactus under our windows for theives - If ever someone is dumb enough to come to this house - they'll be sporting a bum full of owies. Hang in there - Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
