[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 502578, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to the CD board. My 26-year-old daughter also stole from us for a long time. It was usually small amounts but it hurt just the same. In our case, our difficult child was drinking and abusing prescriptions pills that she was prescribed for her depression and ADHD. We kicked her out several times, let her back, and the cycle just went on and on. Each time she said that it was going to be different, but it never was. We finally had enough when she forged a check on our account while we were out of town last summer and then stole a credit card shortly after that to buy beer. We offered her a choice of leaving voluntarily or facing prosecution and she choose to leave. She had nowhere to go and that finally forced her into a 30 day rehab. After that, we still refused to let her return and she is now in a halfway house looking for a job. I don't think your daughter is going to leave voluntarily. You could try the rules that Lisa mentioned and see what happens. Just be prepared to follow through if she doesn't follow the rules. You need to be careful, though, and check the laws in your state. In some states, like mine, you cannot just "kick" someone out . . . even if she has not been paying rent. In Georgia, you need to go through the eviction process to remove someone who has established residency from your home. Others on the board have found the same thing in their states, too. Keep posting. This is a wonderful place to find comfort and support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
