[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 699298, member: 18516"] Hi Benro, I'm glad you found us here and I'm so sorry you had to. You will find that your story is a familiar one here. I too have a son that stole from us many times and I also had to call the police more than a few times for stealing and also for have drugs in our home. While I do understand those feelings of guilt, you have nothing to feel guilty about. This was not him slipping a $20 out of your wallet, he stole a gun and precious family heirlooms. This is what drugs (even pot) can do to our kids, they lose all regard for us the parents and think only of themselves and how they will get money to buy their drugs. Do not for one minute think that you are not doing the right thing. Your son just like mine cannot be allowed to get away with treating their families this way. This is nothing you did or didn't do as a parent. One thing I have learned from this site is the parents who come here love their kids deeply and we hurt for them. We are all desperately searching for a magic answer to fix what has gone so wrong. Our kids for whatever reasons have made some really bad choices and that is on them not on us. You can drive yourself crazy with the 'woulda - shoulda's' There is a very good article at the top of the PE forum on detachment. Please take some time to read it. You are not alone in this. Stay close to this site and you will find much needed support. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
