[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 629045, member: 17542"] I found a lot of my things in my sons trunk one time after he went to jail. Jewelry, a bike carrier still in the box, etc. I still remember how stunned I was to see those things lying in a pile in his trunk. It was a defining moment. The day difficult children dad came home from work and found all of his sports cards strewn all over difficult children bed plus his computer open to a website stating their values was a defining moment for him. difficult child got arrested that day so there was no time to clean up the mess. And the crowning blow: he still denies all of it. Adding insult to injury. The truth, when it hits us full in the face, is stunning. But that is a good day in the whole realm of things. Living in denial is a survival mechanism we do for as long as we HAVE to for our own benefit. Then there comes a day when we are ready to move forward and deal with reality. We are truly no match for them and we are often bewildered and blindsided by each new thing that occurs. This the PTSD. The next day SO and I went to Home Depot and changed all of the locks, put extra bolts on the doors and changed the garage keypads. I cried the entire time. One step at a time.
