[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 750015, member: 18516"] Hi Lady Bear, I understand that your son is still young so there is a good chance that he can turn this around. I'm glad to hear that your son is remorseful for his actions, however, he has no right to be angry with how his grandmother and father have treated him over this. While the reason he stole was to "get attention" it does not take away the fact that he stole his grandmother's jewelry and hocked it. I know first hand what it's like as my son stole from me many times. It's a breach of trust and it's not something that is easy to get over. I have forgiven my son but I cannot forget what he did and my trust in him is completely gone. I would imagine the grandmother feels extremely betrayed and hurt and yes, angry. It doesn't matter the reason your son did what he did, it was wrong. I totally get this. It's hurtful for him and also a betrayal that he feels his father is favoring his girlfriend over him. My heart hurts for your son having to deal with this. Your son needs to get some counseling to learn how to deal with his disappointment and anger. If your son does not learn how to deal with his emotions in a productive way, I fear there will be more interactions with the police. As I said, your son is young and can turn this around but I really do think he would benefit from some counseling. The story of two wolves offers some good food for thought.
