[QUOTE="DDD, post: 464619, member: 35"] How does your husband weigh in on these problems? Are you all a parenting team or have you been "in charge" all these years? in my humble opinion, that is the starting point for charting your course. You and your husband have to unite in the position you take. Obviously your son has many issues and seems to be "running the show" so to speak. Continuing on as you have been living isn't a viable option. Working in the family business when he is stealing from the company does not make sense. Stealing from your home is not acceptable. Threatening to harm himself to gain his objective is also not appropriate. The only advice I can give with absolute certainty is that you and your husband need to speak freely with one another and decide when and where you need to draw the line in the sand. What I would do isn't relevant to your family. We have a dysfunctional adult male in our lives. Within the last month he hocked some of my jewelry. I understand the deep disappointment and concerns for the future. You have a found a place where many compassionate members are ready to listen, offer advice and sending caring thoughts and hugs your way. Welcome. DDD [/QUOTE]
