[QUOTE="chrisdog01, post: 161589, member: 5211"] Thanks everyone for your words of support, I really need it right now. I feel so emotionally drained and not able to effectively make decisions, etc. This is part of why I've stayed away from the boards lately, I've only been going to message boards I belong to with happy topics (dogs & vacations - ha ha ha). We don't have to worry about changing our locks, because difficult child doesn't have a key (he lost it a long time ago and we never gave him another one). My dogs will go to the kennel and the cat will stay home when we go on vacation. He won't be able to squeeze through the new dog door because it will be too small for him. Plus we will put a deadbolt on the top of the door so he can't reach up through the dog door and open the door. (I can't believe I have to get a new dog door to keep my kid out.) Several of my neighbors are aware of our situation with difficult child, so they will keep an eye out for our house. He doesn't steal from us all the time, but only every so often and when we least expect it (but it's still wrong). Just occasionally things will go missing or will be really suspicious. He gets upset when we instantly accuse him, but he doesn't give us any reason to think otherwise. Tomorrow will be a really hard day. Our easy child daughter is graduating from 8th grade in the morning. She has picked out a new outfit and is excited for the day (I can't believe she will be starting high school next year - yikes!). And on the other hand Nick's graduation should have been tomorrow also. All the high schools in our district are graduating and I just want to hide from them all. I just need to focus on our easy child daughter and not take away from her day. I'm just so tired of all of it. I want nothing more than to reach out and give Nick a great big hug. But when I see him I just don't like the person he has become. [/QUOTE]
