[QUOTE="feelingfrustrated, post: 648646, member: 18778"] Keep in mind that we have not seen the difficult child since last Friday morning. It was thereafter that we found out she was stealing from us right under our very noses while he was in the home - immediately following his confronting her about stealing commemorative coin collections and telling her that we would never allow stealing in our home. She sealed the boxes she had packed with our possessions and wrote all over them that it was her "miscellaneous stuff". Most of her clothes and some of her furniture and belongings are still at our house from when she moved back in with us approximately 1 year ago. My husband has tried to contact difficult child on multiple occasions and she has recently responded, indicating she wanted "hang" with him for the day. He has told her he was busy during the day, but that he would like her to come to the house when both he and I are home. She knows something is up and asked him why we wanted her there when we were both home. My husband finally told her that we wanted to have a discussion with her regarding obtaining a job, house rules, etc. She told him that she had plans to be with her friends that night, instead. So, to date, we have not been able to tell her that she is no longer allowed to live in our house due to her recent attempts at theft. As my husband and I were discussing this situation last night, he made the comment several times that we can't just throw her out as she doesn't have any place to go. I pointed out to him that she has been gone for almost a week (I believe a part of that time was spent at her mother's house) and that for the past two months she has only stayed at our house a handful of nights. I think he may find it difficult to stay strong when she is finally confronted about the ramification of her actions and may give in when she begins to cry, scream, berate, or whatever it is she will do, and may just give her another chance. I do not want her to have another chance in my home. I'm fearful of how strong he will stay when she contacts him with her manipulative ways and begs to return to the house. I've told him that I can no longer stay in a home wherein I do not feel safe. I told him that if he is going to allow her to stay, even with irrefutable proof that she attempted to steal from us, then I would pack my belongings and leave. I feel bad for doing so and, given my love for him, I don't know that I can even make good on that threat. But what else can I do? I am soooo scared that he will allow difficult one to manipulate him and convince him to let her stay... [/QUOTE]
