[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 728463, member: 16024"] There is always a honeymoon period, in the beginning. It never lasts. I’m glad you got the eviction notice served, Trying. How long do you have before he can be legally removed from the home? The majority of our difficult young adults have stolen from family members. Often we don’t notice till we have reason to need the item. They will take things they can resell or barter like jewelry, collectibles, guns, small antiques, tools, electronics, medications (just to name a few things) as well as cash, debit, and credit cards. Some are sneaky enough to just write down the cc numbers and order things online, so you don’t even realize the card is compromised until the bill comes. The items are often resold for drugs. The mother is certainly aware of her son’s problems. This type of behavior didn’t start after you brought him into your home. She may be in denial, and hoped that this would be a new start and he would somehow just start acting responsibly. He is very likely abusing drugs or alcohol, and has been for a long time. Maybe the mother thought that getting him away from his drug buddies would prompt a change, but it rarely works that way unless the person has a strong desire to change for himself. Drugs can be found anywhere. His mother should have warned you, but it’s too late for that now. My difficult step-son very likely took a collectible toy in the original box from his younger brother. It was in a box in the closet when the older one was staying here at one point. We didn’t notice till long after the fact, when the younger one was looking for it specifically. It probably wasn’t worth a lot of money, but a desperate drug adict will sell anything for their habit. I hope your friend’s daughter understands how dangerous this young man is, and stays away from him. Some girls are drawn to this type and it’s hard to know for sure. I would watch her carefully. Many a young girl has been started down the wrong path by a charming young guy with bad intentions. Is your nephew hostile or threatening with your dad? If he is, elder services would investigate and hopefully expedite the eviction. Keep us informed about this situation. Apple [/QUOTE]
