[QUOTE="gpho, post: 750038, member: 24196"] Hi, First Post here. My son has been angry at us for a while. He blames us for his issues and takes little responsibility to do the work to heal. Recently, he went into my bedroom, took a gun my bedroom dresser, figured out the code on the trigger lock and took it into his room. He put a magazine of dummy rounds in it (he knows the real from the fake and chose the fake though the real ones were right next to it). I discovered it was gone by accident, and when I retrieved it, he stated he "did it to make a point". It took me awhile, but I realized that he had really violated my trust. The lock codes have been changed to something he will not be able to guess, I made sure there was nothing else left out and accessible, but he has a other weapons he's created (through welding, building, etc.), and a small collection of pocket knives in his room. On the one hand, it seems logical to confiscate all of them because of the trust violation. Yet something in me hesitates, and I don't know why. This is the first major issue that has come up, but things have been brewing for a while... [/QUOTE]
