[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185588, member: 1233"] MB, It is strange, but I know many people who don't consider taking things from their parents' home(s) as stealing. If it were taken from THEM it is grand theft, but not the other way around. I know you ahve already made it clear that you don't want her to do this, and can't afford for her to do it, but you need to say something. Or, if you REALLY want to make a statement, go visit her and set out some things you want. Just put them on the table when she is in the restroom or another room. Maybe ask for a bag when she gets out? Cause if she can "shop" at your house, surely you can "shop" at her house?? I don't know your difficult child, and this might jsut end up in a fight. With Wiz it is the graphic image of someone else doing to him what he did/does to them that gets through (we actually had a therapist who suggested this method). Overall, it seems like a good post. Certainly there are a lot of good things, esp that she PAID BACK THE MONEY. I do have an unpleasant thought though - any chance she will be thrown out soon? It was just a wonder, because she didn't seem to want to go home. Does she think, maybe, that since she paid you back she could move in with you if she gets thrown out? anyway, glad she paid you back and that you got to spend some time together and it sounds like it was enjoyable time.
