[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 680340, member: 18516"] Hi Devastated Mom, I'm sorry for what you are going through. You are not alone. My son stole from me and husband many, many times. It's such a deep, painful betrayal. You have received some great advice from the others that have shared. There is no easy answer here. Your daughter's actions have damaged if not destroyed your trust in her. If it were me the first thing I would do is change the locks on the house. I would tell her you are changing the locks because you cannot trust her. I don't know that I would allow her to come over for a long time. When my son would come to our home I was always a nervous wreck. If he went to the bathroom I would have my husband go down the hall and make sure he wasn't sneaking into our bedroom. The theft is something that can be forgiven but never forgotten. I would make it clear to her that it will take a long time to earn your trust back. Don't let her just tell you how sorry she is. The old saying "actions speak louder than words" holds true here. It will only be by her actions that she will be able to earn your trust back. She didn't just slip a $20 out of your purse, she committed grand larceny which is a felony. This is punishable by prison time. I completely agree with Copa. [USER=19951]@Ironbutterfly[/USER] also had a great suggestion about having a lawyer draw up the agreement. Someone else suggested also that she should confess what she did in writing and have her sign it. I'm glad you found us here. You will find wonderful support and advice from us warrior parents who have survived dealing with our adult difficult children. Keep posting and let us know things are going. ((HUGS)) to you................ [/QUOTE]
