[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 727538, member: 16024"] I would wait. He may well be embarrassed about his thefts (that’s a good thing!) but he should also realize he should be the one to reach out and make amends. If you reach out right now, it will probably be a green light to him to start asking you for money. Which will mean that he won’t be looking at his other options to get the money, like getting a job. It could set him back in his recovery. He needs to start relying on himself, and doing for himself. Relying on his parents only keeps him in a child state of mind. I would wait and see how this plays out. I always tell my hubby to do this. Wait and see what they figure out on their own. When he doesn’t step in to save his boys, they usually figure out a way to get it done. Apple [/QUOTE]
