[QUOTE="Lil, post: 724537, member: 17309"] I know! I truly, truly know! The last time our son was put out of our home, he stole from us. We told him when we let him in, if so much as a CD goes missing, we'll call the police. $700 went missing. I did not call the police. Why? Partly because it was cash and impossible to prove. Mostly, because I couldn't bear it. I told him to leave. He left. I thank God it was cash. Had it been credit or guns or anything else of significance...I'd have had him arrested. Heck, months later we actually bailed him out when after an argument that became physical my husband did call the police and we discovered he had a warrant for failing to do his community service on an unrelated matter. Husband only wanted the police to diffuse the situation. He didn't want him in jail. So we bailed him out and I even represented him to get him out of trouble. So I know - truly - how unbearable this is. We do what we can do and still keep our hearts intact. [/QUOTE]
