[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 205178, member: 3305"] Hi Incredible... Just wanted to welcome you and say I too have been there done that with my sons. Still grates on my nerves all the expensive boxed barbies that my sons stole years ago trying to get money for drugs etc. Those barbies had once outlined my daughters room on shelves and were such a reminder of her childhood to me...I had wanted her to maybe pass them down to her daughter someday. My sons behaviors definitely had an effect on her as well as husband and I relationship. Is your son an only child or are there siblings involved too? We installed a lock on our daughters door so that her money wasn't stolen from her by our sons we also put one on our door and got a safe. It might be a good idea to look into that if you haven't already. Also wanted to suggest the possibility of going to an Al Anon meeting near your home. There are many you'd be able to relate to that go to Al Anon. They helped me learn a new way to communicate with my sons and they were a great place to see others who had been there done that and survived it in tack. I am so sorry to hear the police have been less than understanding/supportive toward you. It's pretty easy to feel so very alone when some others treat you as though you've done something wrong along the way, etc. It's so not fair and not necessarily true at all. Plenty of "good families" end up with a child that chooses drugs. Take care of you and your safety while all this is unfolding. Hugs, Tammy [/QUOTE]
