[QUOTE="katya02, post: 139546, member: 2884"] I'm very frustrated ... difficult child spent all of about one day staying home after breaking up with his girlfriend (it was, or I thought it was, a very serious relationship - they were talking marriage), and then must have contacted a sleazy girl who was chasing him all last summer. They were out together last night, and tonight she turned up and they're in our basement watching a movie! This girl called incessantly last summer and took him to at least one party where he got smashed; now she's begun calling again and obviously has her hooks into him. He seems to care for nothing but being entertained ... if he's not getting drunk or high or doing something else bad he complains of being bored and depressed. If it's pointed out to him that his situation is entirely of his own making he gets furious. Today I gave grocery money to my third son, as he had volunteered to go shopping while I took care of some other things; he left the cash on the kitchen counter and when he got to the store he realized there was $20.00 missing. When he got home he told me, and then went and confronted difficult child, who first told him he had no idea there was money in the kitchen, and then admitted taking it (saying he was broke and had things to pay for, so he needed it). If I had confronted difficult child he would have died before admitting taking it, and would certainly not have given it back as he did to his brother. It makes me completely cynical and unsympathetic about everything he says and does. I haven't yet been able to talk to husband, since he's worked 7 twelve-hour shifts in a row; our talk will have to wait until difficult child is back at college. I'm just carrying all my cash in my pocket, locking up my purse, and gritting my teeth about this girl being over ... I don't have a solid reason, tonight, to tell her to leave, but I don't want her over here. Maybe I'm projecting my disappointment that difficult child dumped a really wonderful girl just to turn around and take up with someone who reminds me of the awful, sleazy girls difficult child hung out with when we lived in Canada. But I have a bad feeling about this girl, and I suspect she's supplying difficult child with something - either booze or drugs. No proof, just a bad feeling. I hate having to carry my cash around and hide my purse, and I hate that he took $20 from the grocery money, and I hate having girls I don't like in my basement!! [/QUOTE]
