[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 728434, member: 19522"] I am sorry for your troubles. I agree with Re, time to change the locks. We didn’t have to shut our house up tight before my daughter went off the rails and figured if the door was locked she had every right to come in through the windows, pry off and wreck our screens. :mad: It seems that these adult kids of ours will push every boundary imaginable and think it is okay. What’s [I]yours[/I] is mine.......kind of attitude. My two will come round to shower once in a while, usually when I am not home. It is such an odd feeling, to have to be wary of our own. After so many traumatic events and things gone missing, what can a person do? Addiction is an awful beast. It turns our adult kids into people we don’t recognize, they have a predatory attitude towards their own family. It is nothing personal, they just want to be high. At any expense. So, understanding this forces us to move into action to protect ourselves and the security of our home. Joysheph, I know this is hard. Wondering if you tell your son to leave if he’s on the streets will he just go deeper down the rabbit hole. The thing is, addicts will drug no matter where they are. Having that in your home is simply unacceptable. How old is your younger son? Mine is 16. He is disgusted with his sisters, their drug use, theft and lying. He has been through a lot while his dad and I struggled with this. One thing that helped me put my foot down was looking at my boy. He didn’t deserve to grow up watching his adult sisters use and manipulate his parents. Try and write a signature so folks have an understanding of your situation at a glance. It is the info you see on the bottom of my post. I went back and read some of your older threads. You have been dealing with this sort of thing for some time now. I’m sorry, I know how hard it is. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. You are not alone with your troubles. We have all been through some nightmarish stuff with our d cs. Hang in there and work on building your toolbox. Read as much as you can, go to a counselor, find ways to strengthen yourself. It is a tough road we are all on. We need every bit of strength we can muster to get through it. Know that you are not alone. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
