[QUOTE="mtic, post: 654942, member: 18623"] My son stole from us numerous times too. The first time we found out he left and lived with friends. Eventually he came back home, told us he was taking drugs and drinking too much, and wanted to get on the right track. We took him back in, set him up with a therapist, took him to AA and NA meetings, and he found a job. All we asked was that he go to meetings, work, save money, and be honest with us. Sadly, this didn't last. He started stealing from us again and lost his job. We still didn't put him out, but the final straw for me came when he stole checks from me and forged them. No, I didn't press charges but I did kick him out for good. He will under no circumstances live here ever again. I can't go back to living my life hiding my money and wondering if anything valuable is gone. I hear from him once in a while from a friend who is trying to help him out, but he's still not connecting the dots. Just wanted to let you know that you are definitely not alone and everyone here is great at "listening." I'm more of a lurker than a participant. I hope this board is very useful to you. Hugs for all you are going through. [/QUOTE]
