[QUOTE="amys3yungins, post: 623999, member: 17137"] About 5 years ago my difficult child was in court for stealing a CD. I sat and watched some woman on trial for shoplifting air freshner and I laughed to myself thinking how silly that was. I should not have judged her because about 2 years later ( now about 3 years ago-- he was 19) my difficult child stole from WalMart too. He stole a christmas tree car air freshner that was $2.00 and he had a $10 dollar bill I had just given him an hour before!!! I was so disgusted!! We picked him up from jail as the magistrate let him sign himself out with no bail money due. Well, my husband took him back to the WalMart to get his car. Someone had left a 12 pack of pepsi in a shopping cart in the parking lot. My difficult child took the pepsi and put it in his car and brought it home!! I was doubly disgusted. I thought about taking it back to the store but I gave it to a church. I was scared I would somehow be connected with the theft if I tried to take it back. How can someone first steal something so stupid, go to jail and then come right back to the same store and take something else 2 hours later???!! Just thought I'd try to make it sound a little better for you. :) At least he stole food and something fun to do. All that being said, I feel your pain and frustration for your son as I face the same feelings with mine. But I see that you mention God alot and believe me, he is always faithful and he has proven this to me over and over again. I will pray for you and your son. [/QUOTE]
