[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 209864, member: 3907"] Jen, this is a tough nut to crack. You're not over reacting. Honestly, whether it is "just" a chocolate bar, or whether it's something with significant monetary value, stealing is stealing and it's wrong. It crosses so many lines. Broken trust, lack of respect, no boundaries, anger that something you were saving for a specific use has been snatched away, inconvenience of replacing stolen goods or getting them back in damaged condition... My difficult child had huge issues with this, to the point where we had to lock down the whole house. Natural consequences (replace what you stole, having to back up your words with verifiable proof, really tight rein because of lost trust) seem to work best with this. Sorry you're having to deal with this, and hope that boyfriend conveys the seriousness of it in his talk. Trinity [/QUOTE]
