[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 554580, member: 1514"] As you probably will remember I can so sorely understand this post. Cory started stealing from me as a teen. I obviously didnt break him of it well and should have been much more severe in my consequences because at 21 I had to come down extremely hard in a way no parent ever wants to do. I charged him with 3 felonies when he forged 3 checks from me on his 21st birthday so he could have a really nice birthday on my dime. Whats so dumb is that if he had just waited until I got home I would have probably have given him a couple of hundred bucks to go have a party with. Not the amount he took but something. Sadly my plan was to buy him a scooter that cost as much as he stole but he made that impossible. He really messed up his life and ruined anything good I could have done for him. He felt jealous because I had given Jamie a grand to pay off a truck Cory had bought from Jamie but never paid off. I paid it off because it was really a stupid deal that Jamie, Cory and I got into without thinking things through very well. It was really all our fault but I wanted the debt off of Jamie when he was just having Hailie and I could do it at that moment. Really long story. So Cory ended up in big time trouble that momma couldnt fix this time. He still carries the label of felon now. Not pretty. He is trying to turn his life around but now he has to realize that he broke our trust and it has taken a long time to slowly build it back. He is trying hard. Every time he is so much as a day late on something or isnt where he says he is, our hearts sink. He hasnt stolen a dime from us again. Surprisingly to me, Tony let him borrow his truck this past week because Cory's is in the shop. Cory has brought that sucker home to his house every night and it doesnt move.
