[QUOTE="shaile, post: 106852, member: 4123"] Greetings..~smiles~ I honestly can say that I can identify strongly with your line of thinking Happy. Our difficult child is a thief. He has stolen from us and pretty much every other childs home that we've allowed him to go over and play with. It is compulsiveness with him as what he takes and its always the same line of things but none the less it is stealing. He is now and has been for awhile now..not allowed to go to anyone elses home period. This causes stress on us all every day because he has lost all trust with us over this. He retaliates with running off and then even going outside (aside from school) is not allowed without my supervision. He shows his resentment by tantrums/angry body language and looks, and I am the one struggling to avoid resentment towards him because I am having to watch and babysit him like he were a 2yr old instead of 8yr old but yet wants to do what 8yr olds do. I can not babysit him all his life. We as parents are not afraid to use the police if that becomes a necessity. Atleast it will be of our doing and control, and not just some random call out of the blue to say Ma'am..we have your son at the police station. That would kill me. As he gets to be your sons age..his ability to be more defiant and physically agressive will be present. At that age also they have been more influenced by peers to the point that "scare tatics..as in like scared straight programs" are much less influential. I don't want to wait it out and just see what happens. I will use whatever resources are available "to include the law" to try and deter him from going there at a point and time where I can no longer have a say so or help. I have to tell myself alot that I can live with difficult child resenting me if I know I did everything possible to avoid having him end up in a miserable life..but I could not live with myself if difficult child resented me, and I also carried doubts in my head of "If only I had tried this or done that, and end up with guilt." Lots of prayers for you, and hope that your son will allow you to regain the needed trust that is missing. shaile [/QUOTE]
