[QUOTE="klmno, post: 226374, member: 3699"] I've called the credit card cos' before- this isn't the first time it's happened. They will stop any ongoing charge- like a subscription to something- other than that, I have to either pay it or let them file charges against my son. I haven't pursued charges at this point. The charges may very well be from the depression- I don't know- I opened the bill today so the charges were actually made a few weeks ago. It's nice to hear that a spending spree can result from depression, too- not just hypomania or mania- that could clarify a few things. It's hard- he is manipulative. But, it's also an intermittent thing with the stealing. That is what is wierd about it. The stealing is always here when there are other signs that he isn't stable- other signs that aren't legal issues. But the stealling doesn't happen when there are not other signs of instability. psychiatrist calls him ODD when the signs are there, and removes the label when the signs aren't there. So, I guess my son has ODD for 3 mos, then he doesn't , then he does- that's what psychiatrist is documenting anyway. Anyway, I went to his room and talked to him a min- he's getting in the shower now. Yep- EW- that's a big part of the problem- and I noticed that when I was flipping out over them even considering them taking him from home, the GAL was saying I should sign over cutody. Now that I'm trying to get extra help, they are telling me I can't and that even if I signed over custody, they would not accept it. So, it really looks like the system is more manipulative than difficult child is!! LOL! [/QUOTE]
