[QUOTE="Lil, post: 726116, member: 17309"] I'm so sorry Origami, but ... ditto. It's not just that he's nearing 30. It's not just that he's an addict. It's not even the stealing and lying - but everything together...doesn't add up to a good living situation. How long is the rehab? If it's only 30 days, he needs to be told soon. If it's several months, then there is some time for him to get a handle on things and make plans. But in any event, I'd have to confront him about the missing guitar and the charge card...and also about the prior lie about the car. Come on - he really expects you to believe that? Car-jackers with guns who just brought him back his cell phone and car when they were done joy-riding. Uh huh. I'd also make him tell you where he pawned the guitar. I likely wouldn't press charges - heck, I DIDN'T press charges when my son stole from us - but I would have to tell him that he should be grateful he wasn't going to jail for theft and he would need to have another place to live. A sober living house or something. I understand your husband's feelings...but this might just be too much for me. And after all, with his addiction, is coming back to your house - where he's been drugging all along - really best for him anyway? [/QUOTE]
