[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 618439, member: 17269"] MWM gave you very good advice. People kept saying "he is acting like he is using drugs" from when my difficult child was in 8th grade, and just thought they didn't understand the unique complexity of his dysfunction. For YEARS I thought that. RIght up to when he overdosed on heroin at 17. I was....stunned. He said he started drinking and smoking pot in....you guessed it...8th grade. Meanwhile I was all over his twin sister...I knew she was smoking pot and trying other things...I caught her over and over, read it on her facebook, dealt out consequences...so I am not a denier...and yet, I sure as heck was with him (easy child twin sister, by the way, is nearly 20 now, a junior in a very challenging wonderful college, and although she drinks more than I like has quit all other drugs, works part time while full time in school, and generally has herself together quite wonderfully. Maybe it was the consequences!!!) Whatever your difficult child is doing it aint right. I dont' care if it is drugs or not, I don't care why she stole from you. Try hard to act on MWM's advice...and good luck to you, we all feel for you. Echo [/QUOTE]
