[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 494337, member: 1514"] Hi, welcome to the board, sorry you are here. I am not going to address the addiction vs using substances issues at this point. I am going to talk about what appears to be his blatant disregard for your rules and his stealing from you. I do think that your wife is right that you should file charges with the credit card companies. They will charge him with fraud. He will get felony's on his record. Dont feel too guilty because I am sure you told him no the first time you caught him doing it and he continued to do this to you. The sheer gall of using his cell phone to take a picture of your credit card so he would have the numbers...and maybe even sell them or hand them out to other people...is enough to make my hair stand on end. My son did something very similar. He stole my check book several years ago and got me for just over a thousand dollars in 3 checks. I had my bank shred every single check I had in my house and I havent ordered anymore checks since then. I also filled out forgery affidavits and had him charged. He was arrested and now has 3 felony charges thanks to me pressing charges on him. It was the only way the bank was going to put the money back in my account. Oh sure I could have let him off and make him pay me back but that wouldnt have taught him one damn thing except for Momma dont mean what she says. After all, for years I had been telling him not to take my stuff and dont steal. I had to put my foot down. He actually is doing much better now. Its a shame it took all that to do it though.
