[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639559, member: 1550"] "Actions speak louder than words." I love this. "Talk is cheap." I love that too. If your son is stealing from you, seriously, do you think it is a good thing for you to let him get away without consequences? You are his mom, but if he steals elsewhere, he will get into serious trouble. I did not turn my son in when he stole from us (or, father, he used our credit cards and really ran them up). He went on to become a thief and a con artist. I wish we had involved the cops looking back. We did him no favors, in my opinion, by letting him off the hook. I mean, WE disciplined him, but he didn't really care and obviously it didn't teach him anything. Meanwhile lock up your credit cards, checks, and any money. Not a great way to live, but you have to be safe. Don't feel bad about moving. There are thugs everywhere. They don't make our kids do bad stuff. The kids seek out these thugs because they want to do bad stuff. My daughter sure did when she was into drugs. I can't blame anyone but her. She quit the thugs when she decided to dump druggie life. Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Sounds like he may be looking at his dad, not a good thing, but you can't control it, even if Dad is gone. I am convinced that nature trumps nurture...but ANYONE can decide to change, even people with horrible genes, like me ;) [/QUOTE]
