[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 638026, member: 18366"] Lil, I went and read your story and as much as you are hurting I think you have done the best thing for both you and your husband AND your son. I picked out a quote from one of your earlier postings: I can't tell you how many times you posted you would have him arrested but instead of going the hard route you kicked him out. That is more than "FAIR". I can understand not wanting to have your own son arrested but I also understand that it has finally become too much with all the stealing. And the lying. Nothing smashes to smithereens our emotions than to have except that our difficult child "is what he is". From reading your posts I see that you and your husband have put up with quite a lot and difficult child has crossed every boundary you have put down for him. I don't really know what else the two of you could have done to help him - seems he really doesn't want help right now, and if you were to let him back in the house things are just going to return to the stealing and lying. It is up to difficult child to realize the two of you mean business. No matter how much your heart hurts for him right now I think the two of you should be planning for whatever you think is best for the two of you in the future. Maybe, sometime in the future you can all reconcile but I really think that this latest kick in the rear was necessary for both of you and your difficult child. Boundaries without consequences is how most of us get trapped in the never ending merry-go-round with our difficult children. Also as much as you are hurting right now, don't count your difficult child out just yet. I am sure he has tons of cards up his sleeves to pull on your heart-strings. In the mean time prepare yourselves in how you will deal with him in the future. [/QUOTE]
