[QUOTE="diana71, post: 617204, member: 17553"] Greenegal, you sound like me when I was in denial. I would catch my son using or selling and he would promise he would stop and he would for maybe a week and then he was right back at it. He had all sorts of thugs come into our home and I have had so many things stolen from us it isn't even funny.
