[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 538409, member: 7083"] He wasn't thinking that far ahead. It's impulsive and thoughts of consequences don't come until later. difficult child 2 and recently his younger brother (that one surprised me) both stole from me in ways that were impossible not to get caught. They were only thinking of immediate gain - instant gratification - and thoughts of consequences didn't enter until later. Even at that, the consequences don't outweigh the addiction. The addiction and whatever it takes to feed it will win every time. The money was there - he took it. It's that simple. Addicts don't think it through like you are trying to. [/QUOTE]
