[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487424, member: 1550"] Wow. Sounds like son is used to getting really nice gifts. Is your son doing well enough in his classes (like showing up, doing his work, good grades) to even deserve a laptop? Don't they have them at school? I am suspecting (maybe i'm just too suspicious) that he is needing money for drugs. I could be wrong, but why else would he sell such nice things? For us, money comes hard. If my kids sold our gifts, we would start sending things that were more practical, such as cloches, and limit how much we spent. Hugs to you and yours and I hope you can come to a peaceful decision. Unfortunately, as it was for us, sometimes our kids have to break our hearts 100X over before we accept that they are now not the kids they once were. It really isn't until then that some of us change our behavior towards them to who the child is now. I am sorry you are hurting. Remember this because it was hard for me and hub: You can not buy your child's love or respect. Sometimes they respect us more if we draw a hard line. I think you WILL get your son back (most of us do), but it will take some growing up on his part. They see things differently once they are parents. [/QUOTE]
