[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 352582, member: 1967"] MWM ~ As I recall, when you used tough love your daughter went to live with your son . . . she wasn't out on the streets. There is a big difference. Janet ~ I thought of you when all of this happened. I don't know how you had the strength to turn in Cory when he stole from you. Somehow, no matter how mad I get about her stealing from us, I can't turn her in knowing that she would end up in jail. Sadly, I know it will just keep happening if there are no consequences. I guess our goal now is to just get her out of the house so she doesn't have access to our things. What I don't understand is why she does it when she knows we will find out about it. Yes, I think she is abusing her prescription drugs but there is nothing I can do about it. At 24, she is protected by privacy laws. I have thought about calling the mental health clinic and asking to talk to the doctor to just tell him the things that we are seeing. I'm not sure they would let me do that, though. The latest plan is that she is going to pay us back with the next paycheck and is waiting to hear about being accepted back into the community college and to hear about her loans. She plans on using the money from her FAFSA loan to help with rent. As I said before, I think this is a mistake but it will get her out of our house. I once thought that getting her to 18 and graduated from high school would be the end of difficult child problems. Boy, was I wrong. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
