[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 492482, member: 1514"] Ok I may get long winded here because I can probably explain some of the why's you moms are looking so hard for and maybe it will put your minds at ease. Your kids are stealing from you because you are easy targets and they simply dont care as much about your items as you do. Your jewelry? It doesnt have the same sentimental value to them that it does to you. Your spouses HS ring means nothing to your dtr when she needs money for pot. She/he will lie to you about anything to get the money for pot or drugs. I once told my dad I had a bad tire and needed the money to replace it and he never batted an eye as he handed me a hundred bucks. These kids just dont care. They have no moral compass at the time. Cory couldnt have cared less about what he was doing to me when he was taking my checks and writing them. He didnt know how much was in my account and what I had planned for that money. He just wrote the checks on a whim and figured I owed it to him. He wanted it and he wanted it now. I dont think he ever expected I would find out. Maybe he thought there was so much money I wouldnt notice, I dont know. He was wrong. Eventually either a person will grow up and figure out that this lying and stealing isnt what they want in life because it is wrong and can land a person in jail...or they continue the behavior until they reach some sort of bottom which can be jail and they decide that this is the life they want. Some continue on this way and it takes more and more times in jail and prison before the lesson gets through to them. I am hoping my intervention with Cory has brought him up short so his short time in jail worked. So far he has stopped stealing anything from us and anyone else as far as I know. I have now been able to leave money out in my house and it doesnt walk away. My medications are sitting out and they dont disappear and that was a major issue before because a neighbor lady taught him to bring him my pills when he was 14. Before that he had no clue my medications had value. [/QUOTE]
