[QUOTE="donna723, post: 202394, member: 1883"] Hi Robby! I missed you and and had wondered how you were getting along! I'm so glad you stopped by and updated us. I'm sorry that he still isn't making better choices, but hopefully, in time, he will catch on that he's making a regular habit of shooting himself in the foot! I don't condone what he did, but he did admit it, and it would be even harder to resist if the store manager was leading him in to it! When my son worked in an auto parts store he had a similar situation. Expensive parts that had been brought back to the store to be exchanged were 'disappearing' from the store before they could be returned to the manufacturer. My son worked the afternoon shift and was the one who closed up the store at night - the store manager accused my son of taking the parts! He didn't! It got really ugly and the store manager threatened to file charges against my son if he didn't resign. He quit and went to work for a competitor and lots of the customers followed him there! He was sooo glad to get out of there! The thefts at the store continued. Months later he heard that the STORE MANAGER (the one who had accused [I]him[/I]) had been fired for taking the returned parts home and selling them to his friends for whatever he could get for them! You just never know! And congratulations on your promotion! It sounds like you've done a really good job of detaching and moving on with your life. You've done everything you could possibly do for your son and then some. You devoted your life to him and gave him a solid foundation, more than most kids will ever have. The only thing you can't do is live his life for him and make his choices for him. That part is up to him and sadly, all you can do now is stand by and watch. Hopefully, one of these days, he will wake up and see what he is doing to himself. [/QUOTE]
