[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648418, member: 1550"] "Because you have been stealing from us, and don't bother denying it, you are no longer allowed to live in our house again. We love you, but you are a woman now and you have to make your own way in life. I wish you luck. We are changing the locks. We both wish you luck." She can steal even if you are home. You can see her other places than at your home. Meet her for coffee. You just say it. If she gets violent, call the cops. If she just leaves, let her leave. She knows what she is doing and did and is lying to you and is probably back to using drugs. Hate to say that, but that's probably why she is stealing and lying. I believe "less is more." Don't talk too much. Say what you need to say and not a word more. Arguing is not an option. Your home is your sanctuary and you need to have a place to feel safe in. She needs to live her own life and take her own life's story, making it good or not so good, but her own. Hugs for your hurting heart. Stand firm! [/QUOTE]
