[QUOTE="Fran, post: 352054, member: 3"] Hi Kathy, I doubt she will hurt herself. She is too self absorbed and is sure the world revolves around her. I would be cautious about her doing vindictive things, like posting private info. What happens if while she is at work if you have the locks rekeyed. It's not too expensive. She would have to ring the door bell to get in. Put a deadbolt on the office where the computer is kept. Lock up every credit card, check book, cancelled checks and bank statements. She is forcing you to treat her as a thief because she is a thief. Just because you are related doesn't mean she isn't acting as a thief. Encouraging her to get a thorough evaluation is a good start but I would be very clear that if anything is missing or any damage to the house or car that you will file charges and follow through. Being bipolar is not an excuse for doing the wrong thing. Maybe the impulsivity is a component but she consistently used the credit card and seems to have no remorse. Using logic doesn't work for our young adults when they want something. She should feel shame at taking things from family but for some reason our kids only see what they want or [I]need. [/I]Be clear that she is out May 31st or sooner if she breaks a rule. I would definitely control her access to the house without supervision. She has to earn trust. I agree with the poster who says that the fact that she is stealing from you, she is probably stealing from someone else. Hopefully she doesn't get her self hurt by robbing the wrong person or her boss. Sorry to hear the downward spiral. My heart is with you. [/QUOTE]
