[QUOTE="Second Time Around, post: 664847, member: 18739"] We just had this problem in our family this week as well. Difficult Child stole $20 from his step-dad's wallet to order a phone online and then yesterday, his mom caught him taking money from her purse to go to the store and buy junk food. They took the phone away from him once they realized that he had stolen money to buy it. I'm not sure what the consequence was for trying to steal from his mom. Difficult Child was stealing from family members for awhile when he was 11, but that was before he had the bipolar diagnosis and a medication change. He's always had a compulsion to buy stuff and constantly obsesses about buying stuff, but he's been really pleasant and nice to be around the past few weeks, so this was a complete shock. I felt sick when husband told me. He said we'll have to be careful with our stuff and keep it locked up. I really don't want to have to live like that. It seems like it's one step forward and two steps back. We can never relax and feel like things are improving. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
