[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 145989, member: 1233"] I have spoken with both of my parents. This is not hte first time he has stolen, just the first time he got caught. Several other times they had $$ missing but didn't confront him. My mom and dad have to work some things out between themselves before difficult child can go there. I THINK he is coming here after school. If he shows up there they will have him do yard work until I arrive. My dad is ready for him to come back. I know my mom needs to work some things out with him BEFORE difficult child goes there. I don't know if difficult child will go back there to live. I feel so awful that one of my children would and could do this. And that they other things he has done have resulted in lots of strain on my parents marriage. It really stinks. We have to figure out some consequence for this behavior. I think mowing my yard weekly and my parents yard weekly all summer is a good start. But just a start. I contacted the counsellor we love. She gave us an appointment for next Wed - it will be husband and I, maybe my parents also. She will NOT take difficult child on as a client, but she will treat the rest of us. difficult child simply would not respond to her. difficult child has a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow evening. My dad was going to take him. Now my husband will work at home for the day and take him to the doctor in the evening. I have plans - will post on watercooler. I am most likely going to have to go up to the high school and change difficult child's schedule for next year. He got a D in Algebra. My dad wanted him to take it at the Jr College. Why should we PAY $750 for him to take something he didn't pass in high school??? He CAN take it again, for free, at the high school. My parents had a disagreement over the scheduling, so my dad just overruled my mom on making difficult child take the class again. Well, with the way things are going, I will have to go up and assert my rights and overrule my parents. Mom wants me to. I will wait until after the counselling next week. Thanks for all the support. I love you all!!! Susie [/QUOTE]
