[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 116601, member: 3907"] Jo, I agree with the others who have talked about the loss of trust, having to lock all doors, etc. difficult child has been gone for a few months now, and I'm just getting out of the habit of locking everything behind me, carrying my purse and a great whacking bunch of keys around the house all the time, and having to take 2 or 3 daily inventories of my belongings, having to search difficult child's bedroom, bags, all clothing pockets, shoes, in between his winter boots and the boot liners, everywhere...sigh, for the things he stole. difficult child's bedroom door had a lock on it 9it used to be easy child 1's room before she left home) but now I have the only key. So...if he chose to lock his door when he was out of the room, he was stuck out of his room until I chose to let him back in. There are some nice door locks available at Home Depot, Rona, Wal-Mart etc. The lock is incorporated in the handle, and requires a key. They are not too difficult to install. If H won't do it, perhaps it's time for a new project, to learn to do it yourself. You can buy locks that are warded alike, so that you only need one key for several different doors. My heart goes out to you, Jo. Your difficult child needs to learn that she can't get away with this ever. I like your idea of taking her keys. I agree that you should take her off your insurance. It's clear that her friends understood the deliberation with which she took your card (the fact that they all said she was going to be in big trouble...) Hang in there. Trinity [/QUOTE]
