We had to throw our adult son out two days ago for stealing again.

[QUOTE="gabeach, post: 523591, member: 14373"] Thank you for all the kind and wise words. I have read each one of them several times. He is still gone, but texting me nonstop begging for the money for his weekly counsel center which included daily methadone. It costs $80/week and we have paid it far too many times. We got him a job at a restaurant, but he called in sick too much and also was sent home in several occasions for being glassy eyed and who knows what else. All he had to do was stay out of trouble and get better. Instead, he stole my credit card again, stole my husbands iPod and sold it and was verbally abusive when we woke him up the next day. Now he is texting me begging for the money for his methadone, and I have not given in. I don't know much about methadone, but I am assuming you can go to the emergency room that serves the uninsured and get it some how. He won't do it. He wants us to pay for it. I am 56 and teach school. I have Crohn's disease, and I believe the stress of all these years is what precipitated it. My husband had prostate cancer surgery two years ago, age 52; I also think the stress may have caused that. Oh, the reason he claims he stole the credit card is because he doesn't do drugs anymore and he owed some drug dealers money from a long time ago and they were going to kill him if he did not pay them off. So, that made it okay to steal from us, in his mind. [/QUOTE]
