After ten years of substance abuse, after six years with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) symptoms, after trying to cope positively with frontal lob damage easy child/difficult child will now be identified as difficult child. I've kept the easy child attached to his label because he has never shown violence, blatant disrespect or flagrant disregard for me and husband.
I dsicoverd that my two valuable pieces of jewelry (material and emotional value) are missing. Yes, I know addicts do those things but it's never been "in my house". It is remotely possible (very remotely) that he had some sorry friends in the house. I don't think so. When I confronted him he did not admit the theft nor did he blame it on anyone else. I'm in shock. I'm assuming he hocked them for booze. So far neither he nor I have brought up the subject again.
It really helped me to know that you all were there to support me. If x were true or y was true or even z were true to the circumstances I'd kick him out and detach. Obviously I'm not going to ignore it but my choices are limited by his actual disability. Anyway, thanks for being there. DDD
