[QUOTE="LoveSushi, post: 619379, member: 17587"] Hello Dan in MN. I'm sorry you had to find this site, but I'm glad you're here. There is so much wisdom to be gleaned from people who have been on this journey for a long time. I have a 19 year old daughter, very difficult child/adolescent, Borderline Personality Disorder, and who has been a thief and liar all of her life. The "straw" for me was when all of my valuable jewelry: wedding ring, diamond pendant, grandmother's pearls, various pieces that were my mother's...even all my fun funky jewelry was stolen. It was specifically targeted, nothing else (except husband's digital camera that was probably grabbed on the way out) and our dog knew whomever came into the house and stole these things. She is the only one who could have done it, who knew where I kept all that. We know she did it, the police know she did it, but it's very likely we'll never see any of it again. She has been extremely verbally abusive, demanding, entitled and generally an unpleasant person to be around for many years. I am done with her. She no longer exists to me and she will not until and unless she sees that she has a mental illness and seeks help for it. I don't see that ever happening, so I am trying to accept that I no longer have a daughter. [/QUOTE]
