I have an adult daughter who's been using prescription drugs on and off for 6 years now. I've been taking care of my grandson for 5 of the 9 years he's been on this earth. She moved in my home 4 months ago because her marriage fell apart from her drug use. She seemed okay for awhile but is now acting like she's using again. She's been lying to me and now stealing from me. She stole my checkbook with all my credit cards in it and has rang up a huge bill. I cancelled the cards and turned it over to the fraud department with my card companies. She denies using them or having my checkbook and I constantly get stories (lies) from her. They are so outrageous that they just fall short of an alien abduction. I'm going to have to kick her out of the house and I'm worried about my grandson because I know she'll be taking him with her and there is nothing I can do about it. I have to get her out of here before my house is plundered and up for sale. I live in Illinois and it's very hard to get authorities involved unless something bad happens. Don't know what course of action to take, except have her removed and wait for something to happen in order to keep my grandson safe. She's been enabled by her ex-husband for years. She's been in a lot of car accidents and skipped out of any DUI charges. I'm torn apart from making sure my grandson is safe and getting her out. My fiancé isn't going to put up with much more. Just don't know what to do.
