[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 726222, member: 21895"] I struggle with this also. I don’t think acts of kindness (buying a meal or giving them) is wrong if they are appreciative and not manipulative. What we each do and don’t do is what we are comfortable with. I am pleased to hear that your son is behaving better towards you. Stealing is a choice. There are many things he can do to get help for himself that don’t include stealing. Remember he is living the consequence so if his actions and if he does not do this there will be no motivation for change. Not easy stuff. Big hug to you. [/QUOTE]
