[QUOTE="Fran, post: 211546, member: 3"] I'm so sorry for your hurting heart. I understand the feeling of betrayal. We also have money in the open. If they ask they may have change or whatever. If they take it without asking it is theft. You wonder how they can steal from their parents. I know it's the self absorption of their mental illness that makes it all about them. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow. I have to say I would be sick if I sent my difficult child to jail but I would have done the same thing in your situation. A few days is better than repeated felonious behavior in the future. Don't let her guilt you. She should feel guilty stealing from the people who love her the most. Turn it back to her choices and her behavior. She's lucky you and husband will show up at court on Friday. At this point many parents have given up. You are still trying to do the right thing for her to have a life. Hang in there. Try to rest up and realize that if there were an alternative you wouldn't have gone this route. [/QUOTE]
