[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 638074, member: 17542"] Hi Lil, just catching up with this thread, and wanted to say I am sorry. I think you did the right thing and I am hoping and praying this is a huge wake up call for him. It's too bad we have to take drastic actions like this, but they push and push and push and leave us no choice. difficult child has stolen from me multiple times, took my debit card and got cash out, took costume jewelry, even took a car bike rack. Who knows about cash and other things? I am sure if he could take it, he did. My ex-husband and his wife allowed difficult child to live with him for months until they found he had stolen from the wife, her grandfather's watch and some other old family jewelry, plus his dad's sports cards. Like my ex-husband said: "We told him the only unbreakable rule is stealing from us." So...that's what he did. His dad didn't talk to him for a year. They are now back in communication and difficult child has been working full time for 2+months and moved into an apartment last Friday. Is it perfect? Far from it. But things are better, at least for today. You never know where your boundary will lead, hopefully to something good, but regardless, you did the right thing. That doesn't mean it isn't hard. Hang in there! We're rooting for you all. [/QUOTE]
