[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 464839, member: 1157"] The Explosive Child is a great book that will give you good foundations, but it may help you to read more books on dealing with adult children. The book I found the most helpful in my own situations was Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Children: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Setting-Boundaries-Your-Adult-Children/dp/0736921354/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317301352&sr=1-1[/url] The only caveat is that it has a decidedly religious slant, so keep that in mind. If you are religious, you will find it comforting. If you are not, the suggestions/steps in the book are still spot-on and extremely helpful, no matter what your faith. Another good one is When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us: Letting Go of Their Problems, Loving Them Anyway, and Getting on with Our Lives : [url]http://www.amazon.com/When-Our-Grown-Kids-Disappoint/dp/074323281X/ref=pd_sim_b1[/url] I'm glad you and your husband are on the same page, that is so important. Keep in mind that if you confront him on the stealing, it's very likely he will deny it, and you may not get answers on whether or not he stole anything else. Please come back and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
