[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 654696, member: 18516"] Welcome Dandy, I'm glad you found your way here. We are here to offer support to each other, to share our stories and to share what has or hasn't worked for us. It is a betrayal like no other when your child steals from you. Been there, done that, have the T-shirt. I too have been through it with my son. Once he stole $3000 in cash that I had hidden extremely well, so I thought. One thing I learned, if they want money bad enough they will find it no matter where it's hidden and if they can't find money they will steal other things to pawn. First thing I would do is call the credit card company and report the card lost. Your son may have memorized the card #. They will issue a new card and that one I would keep locked up. You also have the option of calling the police as you know. If it were me, I would. What is the reason your 26 year old son is living with you? Does he work? Is he paying rent? Is he using drugs or alcohol? It's very helpful if you can give some more detail. I know you may feel like you are helping him by letting him live with you but you are not. At 26 he should be living on his own and taking care of himself. I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. We are here for you. ((HUGS)) to you........................... [/QUOTE]
