[QUOTE="sadandfrustrated, post: 669842, member: 19612"] I'm not going to call the police and report the check stolen. I don't want to be the one to send him to jail if he would even get jail time which I doubt and as the others pointed out, the wheels of justice are slow. I think he'd get off anyway because the check was made out to cash and it would be his first offense. If he ends up in jail for something else that he's done or does in the future, well, then that's on him. We are making him leave the house though. Hubby is still sleeping because he worked last night so I have to wait til he wakes up to do anything. I'm not even going to offer my son an either or situation. I'll just give him the info on the rehab places, and a number to call if he needs to find a shelter. I even started getting out the winter clothes and I started packing a bag for him. As his mom, I feel better doing it that way. But the bottom line is he definitely can't live here anymore. I don't even want him here. He's a thief and a liar and I won't put up with that. Where he goes or what he does once he's gone is up to him. I am concerned about what he'll do once we make him leave though and if he'll try to break into the house. I bought new locks for the outside doors.. alarms for the windows and I found out how to change the entry code for the garage door so that has to be changed before we make him go. Am I forgetting anything? My husband works nights so I'm here alone in this huge house and I'm a little afraid. edited to add.. I read the article on detachment. .. after I called the rehab places and started packing his bag. I know I'm making that part easier on him but I really do feel better having done that. I'l just pass along the info to him and if he chooses to use it, well, then good. If not, that's his choice. Thanks for posting that article. [/QUOTE]
