[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 637951"] Oh Lil - I am so sorry for your hurting heart. Don't try to understand why he did it or what he spent in on...you will only make yourself nuts. You did the right thing by telling him to leave. I know how sick it makes you feel - even when you know it's the right thing to do. That's the paradox of being a good mother to a difficult child - your motherly heart wants to hold on tightly to them and fix them at the breaking point when you know you have to enforce the incredibly reasonable boundaries you've set. I say this gently - the stealing is atrocious. And at the same time - this atrocious act does NOT mean the signs of progress you saw were not there. Our difficult children seem to take 9 steps backward for every 10 steps forward ... so please don't doubt yourself and the growth you saw in him. It doesn't make it forgivable or ignorable but it also doesn't make it any less real, if that makes sense. {{{hugs}}} for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
