[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 533377, member: 1550"] No, not the car (keys and money are in a lock box), but he did something that sent an alarm bell off in my head and I'm glad I fell asleep on the sofa last night because he woke me up. At 7:30am, I heard a noise and sat up. It was Sonic heading for the back door. He said, "I wrote you a note. I'm just going to ride my bike. I don't have any money." I let him go, but somesthing felt wrong. When he was a little boy, he got busted once for shoplifting a little bag of potato chips. I decided I didn't want him to go out so early and without me. I was just about to get in my car to stop him, when he came back and said, "Hey, my bike's tire is flat!" I was relieved and told him I was actually glad because I didn't want him to go out alone so early. He asked, not in a mean way, "Did you do it?" I said no, but I would prefer he stay home right now. He said, "But I'm eighteen!" I said, "You asked me to please keep you safe. I'm going to do that even if it makes you mad because I love you." He sulked and went back upstairs, bu t when I checked in his room a little later, he was happily watching TV (we gave him his TV back because he can not amuse himself at all and in our opinion it is ok for him to have one form of amusement.) Taking everything away didn't stop him from doing it again...I don't think it will stop it now. So...I still have the chills thinking of him trying to leave at 7:30am. I told him that if he wanted to go out it had to be when we were awake and we couldn't promise we'd let him go alone. I'm too old for this!:hapydancsmil:It's driving me nuts...that little icon is ME!
