My daughter is twenty now but doesn't make enough to be on her own yet.
Over the past eight years we have repeatedly caught her stealing from me. Each time we discussed it. We set firm cosequences, and made her make restitution.
But today I came to realize she's been stealing my credit cards to use for things like trips to starbucks, gas and other things. She used two different cards and put almost a dozen charges on them over the past few months. I'm hurt, angry and feel betrayed.
I told her that on top of paying off my credit cards I need her to start seeing a counselor of her choice every pay period out of her own money for the next six months or she will not be allowed to stay here. I told her she'll have to turn in the counseling reciept to me.
She's been through a lot, (we fled abuse when she was 11) there was trauma she/we experienced at the hands of her dad that she's never been willing to work through. But I'm at my whitts end not knowing what to do.
