[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 549457, member: 13558"] When my son was spending so much time in jail we lived in a city. He and his friends were stealing from me. Someone broke in and totally wiped me out, even furniture, while I was at work. My family knew what was going on but it wasn't in the papers. Yes, you are an easy target and they play on the fact that you will not have them arrested. Fate came along very soon and I was transferred about 30 miles away and I moved. Things did get much better for me. The difficult children like to brag about stealing and being in jail. They are a total mystery to me! Now I am retired and we moved back to my rural small home town. EVERYTHING ends up in the paper and EVERYONE gossips. Luckily difficult child stayed in another state. I can say he is doing better, but he loves to post things on FB - like I have 3 felonies will I ever gets agood job ... good woman...drama...more drama. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase have some pride and do not post your dirt for the world to see! He just went through a homeless period and he was living in the woods, he would not go to a homeless shelter. I was criticized for not letting him move in with me. My nephew was working part time and was just laid off. He has slept on my sister's sofa for so many years. She lies and covers for him so much. He does not have a drivers license - he doesn't have the money to get it reinstated from 2 DUIs. A cousin has a son the very same and he was just out of prison and can't find a job. I doubt if he is really looking. She pays his bills including beer and cigs. And goes to pick up the girlfriend so she can spend the weekend with him. All of these problems are drug related. It is extremely hard, but you have to treat them the same as anyone else that steals from you. If you don't set boundaries it will continue. My heart breaks that I have a son like this - it is a daily struggle to say 'it's out of my hands' and turn it over to a higher power. BUT I deserve a life too and I worked very hard for my money - so can he or do without. (((hugs to us all))) [/QUOTE]
