[QUOTE="Lil, post: 639555, member: 17309"] Welcome and like MWM said, I'm sorry you are here. #1, you said dad will be gone in a couple months. Nothing could be better unless it's today! He owes you $35,000? Open a case with your state's child support enforcement office and stay on them to collect! They can garnish wages, bank accounts, really any liquid assets. They can put it on his credit. They can take licenses. They can take taxes. They can put his lazy deadbeat butt in jail! I work in this field and I don't use the word deadbeat lightly. This is a deadbeat. #2, I just put my own 19 year old son out of my house for stealing from me. Like yours, he loves his pot. YOU can end up in trouble with this in your home. My son is currently in a homeless shelter about a mile from my home. This was a hard, hard, thing to do. But stealing from you...I don't care if it's just $5 for smokes...it was more than we can allow. In our experience, it just became more and more. MWM is right. You can't "fix" him. You CAN set rules for your house and if he follows them he can stay. If he doesn't...well...that is his choice. It's a hard, hard, hard thing to do, to put your little boy out. You went after him when he left. I really do understand that. When my son first stole from me, he left of his own volition. I wanted him back and I really thought we had done what we needed to "fix" him. We put up with a lot of lying and stealing before we gave up and put him out. I still have hope he'll straighten up. I hope that is true for you as well! [/QUOTE]
