[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 727885, member: 13542"] Welcome Tiredmomof2018. I'm sorry you're struggling with your son's choices and behaviors. Theft is often a deal breaker with our troubled kids. If that is an actual photo of you as your avatar, you may want to change it. Remember this is an anonymous site to protect you and your family. Often it is substance abuse which ushers in the kind of theft you're referring to. If that is the case, you may want to connect with Al Anon, Narc Anon or Families Anonymous. Many parents here find solace in the 12 step groups. A good book many of us have read is Codependent no more, by Melodie Beattie. If your son has mental health issues, NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has excellent courses for parents which will offer you resources, support, guidance and information. You can access them online. You may want to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here....it's helpful. It's a challenging path for us parents when our kids go off the rails, for whatever reason. I'd encourage you to keep posting, it helps to write our stories down and receive acknowledgement and support. Hang in there, this is hard stuff. You're not alone. [/QUOTE]
