[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 573052, member: 1514"] Hi there. Sorry you had to find our little corner of the universe but pull up a chair and we will welcome you with open arms. Im sorry to say your story isnt unique. Plenty of us here have been through very similar things. My own son stole my check book and forged checks on me to the tune of $1500. That was my breaking point and I charged him. Thankfully it was also what turned him around. From the name you chose I can only imagine why it would be a bad situation if someone were to find out what your son was doing out of your home. Honestly, your son is a grown man now. I realize when you look at him you still see images of that little boy you helped tie his shoes and the one who learned to ride a bike but he isnt that toddler anymore. He is a full grown man who is now a criminal. He will bring you and the rest of your family down with him if you dont force him to leave. The only way to make a man into a man is to make him responsible for himself. Find out what the laws are for your state to get him out of your home. Some places make you go through an actual eviction, some dont. Whatever you have to do, do it. If nothing else, give him 30 days to find a job and leave. Then do it. Sit him down at the table with the computer running so you have a video of what is happening, and try to get him to sign a contract stating that he will get a job, what the rules of the house are until he gets out, and then give the date he is to leave. If he breaks the rules...call the cops and have him removed. If you catch him with drugs...call the cops..if you catch him with stolen property...call the cops. Even that fake pot is illegal. Actually selling that fake pot is illegal. My son got charged with a felony as a juvenile for selling grass clippings as pot. Grass that you mow in your yard! Actually, I would call the cops about your jewelry and have him charged. They can investigate that. If you stop him now you may save him from getting killed breaking into someone's house one day. Eventually he is going to steal from someone who isnt going to be nice. [/QUOTE]
