[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630892, member: 17269"] This is the best thing to take away from it. I do think he knows he chose it. That is practically a first for him. D, you are so right. I wish I'd seen that clearly years ago, before all the stolen books and cds and ipods and the crazed despair of his siblings when I wouldn't agree that he had clearly stolen them. He ALWAYS took change. He was shameless. He would have an entire drawer full of change and insist he found it on the street, that he was lucky that way. Fool me once... I do think it was more a youth impulse thing, and I think he may have learned from it. Yes it is. It helps to be with people who know that. Almost certainly. I was taking my purse to bed with me (THAT says something doesn't it). But I wasn't very careful, and I am sure you are right. I don't think he did do it on purpose. He only took about 2/3 of the jar...I think that is him being sneaky...dummy. I agree. I work to remember that when I want to just start keening again. thank you for being there with me in this. That is how it was...a rare moment of honesty, clarity, love, regret between us. You are right, Child. I didn't put those things together, but you are right. And this too is right. Today he applied for his foodstamps again, and he made an appointment to get his SSI reinstated. I have to go with him, so I believe him. Hard to imagine he won't slip backwards, and maybe already has, but as of today he is still trying. Good night all, and thank you... Echo [/QUOTE]
