Hi kell. You already know where this is heading.you have been there already. If your son can drive a wedge between you and H, he will do......where will that leave you? You have to show a united front or you are doomed.
I thought the mobile phone stuff was some sort of addiction....P stole to pay for phone cards.....wasn't the case at all, she stole because she wanted to. If your son wants anything other than food, make him pay for it himself...you don't owe him a phone or any other luxury. if he steals, report him to the police..he will make your life a misery as long as you allow him to and when he is ready, he will up and leave in the middle of the night or whenever it suits him without giving you so much as a backwards glance.
I agree with you re the disease stuff.....they are what they are and all they understand is hate and rage..let them get on with it...but we don't need to fall into the abyss with them.hugs.
