[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 627796, member: 1514"] Jeanne, I know on a much smaller sense that feeling of betrayal. I think I mentioned in my first reply to you that my son also stole from me. For some odd reason he felt that he was entitled to part of my money when I got my disability. He stole a book of checks that I had hidden and forged 3 of them to the tune of $1500. For me that was a lot of money. He was mad and jealous because I gave his older brother a thousand bucks but what he wasnt thinking of was that I was paying off HIS debt! And actually if my son had not stolen that money I was planning on buying him something nice for his birthday which was when he stole the money. He made me so mad that I felt forced to charge him. I simply couldnt let that pass. I also had to do all the work for the cops and get the pictures from the bank, copies of the checks, etc. If I hadnt kept on them to file charges I dont think they ever would. In fact I got some flack from people at the courts because I was his mother and I was forcing this issue. As far as them loving and not loving..well I dont know. I know my son could have chosen better. He was raised better. He has two very law abiding brothers. He does know right from wrong. He was sorry at the time. I also know he loves his children but he doesnt have the same sense that most of us do about how one should parent responsibly. He adores them and wouldnt physically hurt them but he also has this weird sense of entitlement that allows him to steal if he cant get what he needs legally. I cant do that. He wasnt taught that. I would beg if I needed something badly for my kids but I couldnt go in a store and steal something. He and his girlfriend seem fine with it. I dont get it. [/QUOTE]
