[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 620621, member: 17542"] We can't imagine it so it hits us particularly hard. We wouldn't steal from anybody, and of course especially from our loved ones. Literally our difficult children steal from the hand that feeds them. It is said that a drug addict will steal your wallet and then help you look for it. One time my difficult child took my debit card out of my purse, took $60 out of my account and put the card back. I thought I had lost the card, and tore apart my purse looking for it. It wasnt there. I thought I must have stuck it in my jeans pocket. Then it magically reappeared. That was his mistake. I went to my bank account, which I had not access via debit card for 5 days as the card was missing, and saw that $60 was gone. TO THIS DAY, he says he didn't take it. We were the only two people living here. I wonder just how dumb they think we are? He has stolen all kinds of things from me, his dad, our neighbors and employers. And he still says today he stole nothing. All he knows is he wants what he wants when he wants it. That is our drug addicted children. They truly don't even connect the dots that they are stealing from US, the people who have loved them the most. They really don't. We should not take it personally because it truly it is not personal to them. We are just a source to our drug addicted kids---nothing more and nothing less. Another key saying here: He has shown you who he is. Believe him. When you can start seeing things clearly, that is the first step toward detachment and your own recovery. Clarity will be setback continually with periods of anger, resentment, bewilderment and deep grief...but over time...clarity will prevail. You have a good plan Lil. Your eyes have been opened. He has created this situation---him and only him. Don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He has shown you who he is. Believe him. Take care of yourself now. It's now time for YOU. I am so sorry for your hurt and pain today, but you are moving toward clarity. Keep moving Lil. [/QUOTE]
