[QUOTE="helpme, post: 356557, member: 8202"] Oh I've been through this too alright. But with a son for goodness sake. It didn't matter what it was, it was just done to make people mad. The final blow was when he took my business cell phone. I got so tired of all the negotiations that was just making him delirious with the power struggle. I wrote it all down.. I said you are old enough to know to do the right thing. I will no longer be telling you what the right thing to do is. I know I have taught you to do the right thing. I expect you to do the right thing. I will be doing the right thing, regardless of your decisions, which I hope are the right thing to do. This seriously frustrated difficult child. He was so used to me having a plan and knowing how I would react (filing police report). I made it simple. Do the right thing. I did not say bring my phone back in the same condition it was taken, with the case, with the charger, without a million porn calls on it, blah blah blah. No... i was spent. I refused to state what I would be doing, and let me tell you what, that scared father and son more than if I told them what I'd be doing. Note to readers- Normal people understand, gimmie my stuff back or I'll call the cops. Other people don't. Period. They just don't understand. Anytime I was talking I was looking at the sheet repeating the same things over and over to him and his father who denied difficult child had the phone. I got the phone and the stuff back, and I got his pocketknife (he had them all over the house) that he knew I knew he had also, but didn't mention. Scheduling made it about a day after it all occurred. Sounds like your difficult child is acting the same. in my humble opinion, you will find way more taken b4 everything is said and done. And you are lucky enough to get things back, you might just get back more than you thought. I'd say to take your time with making the decisions. Any requests from her (for her stuff) would be responded to with "You need to do the right thing." I bet all hell will break loose then, so be prepared. [/QUOTE]
