[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 464642, member: 1157"] Welcome, justtired. It does sound like your son is holding you hostage. Changing this around so that you are back in charge of your own home will not be easy, but it's absolutely necessary. I would agree that the first step is to sit down with your husband and decide what your plan of action should be, and also decide how and when you are going to stick to it. It's extremely important that you be prepared to follow through with whatever consequences you decide upon, and then prepare yourself for the inevitable fallout from that. Have a "Plan B" as well. You might think about seeking the advice of a therapist and developing a plan of action together in his or her office. A third party can sometimes help you strategize more logically, since they aren't emotionally involved. Since your son is stealing from you, I'm wondering if he may have a drug problem. What do you think? If you suspect he is using drugs, I'd also suggest looking into Al-anon, Nar-Anon, or Families Anonymous and attending a few of those meetings. It's really important that you create a support network for yourselves as you go through this. Hang in there. You can do this ... [/QUOTE]
