[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 667407, member: 15801"] Welcome Trolli. Glad you found us.... your story is very familiar to me and I am sure to many others here. If you can find an alanon group, hopefully one for parents and have you and your husband go together. I know for me this was a big help, and it helped me and my husband to be on the same page. I know she is your daughter and that you love her and will do anything to try and help and protect her. However you did not cause this and you cannot cure it or control it. She is going to need to get to the place where she wants help and she doesnt sound like she is anywhere close to that.... which means she will continue to lie and steal from you to continue doing what she is doing. So it is time for you to think about yourself, your husband and your son. You cant fix her and it is not worth losing your marriage or having your son not come home and visit... you deserve both of those things. I know it is scary to kick a child out of the house.... but there are homeless shelters and places for people to go when they have no where else to go. It is not helping her to let her get away with her behavior at home, wrecking havoc with the rest of you.... Hugs I know from experience how hard this is. [/QUOTE]
