[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651460, member: 1550"] Sorry, to say this about your son, but somebody else did it? Baloney. That's what they all say. And, yes, they lie well. My daughter used to say that all the time. The cigarettes weren't hers. She was holding them for "a friend." The pot wasn't hers. She was holding it for a friend, honest-to-God-hope-to-die. The booze bottles were from some boys who came over against her will and threw them down and she didn't see it. You get the picture. That's what they say when they are stealing, or we find drugs or bongs or alcohol bottles...wasn't them it was a friend.And we want to believe it badly. We don't even question why they are with such a person who would do it, but it's not somebody else. It is them. 99.9% everything you have found out about your son...the booze in the car and now the stolen stuff...he did them. It is hard to face as a parent. And my daughter could stare me stright in my eyes and cry and deny, deny, deny. But at the end of the day, she was the one who did it...all of it. And I don't think your son is different. I wish he were. They steal because they need the money for drugs and other toys. But stealing is a huge red flag for drug use. That's why they don't try to get jobs. They get money from us. Once we actually cut off Princess completely, she did at least get a job. One day I found a...bong?...not sure what it's called on the floor of our car, that wonderful car that got her into so much trouble (it's the car's fault, ya see). And she acted shocked and said somebody must have planted it there. By then, we knew. You're new to this, but you'll see the pattern. Your son is going off the rails right now. Maybe the pregnancy fueled it, but do not expect him to be responsible for a baby any time soon. I am sorry you are going through this. Brings back bad memories for me. And when they say "someone else did it" you do want to believe it at first. But I think you will find that he did it. If he denies it, ask for the person's name and pin him down and say if he doesn't give you a name, you'll have to call the cops to find out who did it. Visit pawn shops. Show them pictures of your son and ask if he was there whatever is missing. You could get it back. Look online at his accounts to see if he sold anything on Craigslist or E-bay. He will keep doing it until you do something about it. Don't buy the crapola. Hugs for the journey ahead of you. I'm so sorry you're so scared. I was too. [/QUOTE]
