Last night I confronted J about stealing from, and lying to me again. I hate that he rifles through my personal items looking for hidden money. He will be 19 in May. At what point should I seriously consider booting him out? I know it will change our relationship forever and it is possible that he might not even survive the eviction. But am I doing him a disservice by allowing him to continue with his dishonest ways? Am I an enabler by letting him stay even though he breaks the rules of the house? It will be especially hard for him to get around as he has no license for a few more years.
I now firmly believe that he stole the $300 from my friend’s neighbors as well. My friends already reimbursed their neighbors for the money. I guess I should reimburse them as well now that I believe he stole it. Although, given the he is 18, am I really feal responsponsible for his actions? WTF...
I have decided to start taking some type of antidepressant again. I think there should be more to life than just going through the motions.

I hope the antidepressant works.
I wish I had some answers. My sister and my friend both went through something similar. My friend put padlocks on her bedroom doors and locked everything in there. She'd come home to find the lock picked.
My sister did the same thing and came home one time to find her son in her room with the doors still locked? That was wierd.
They both evicted their kids. They didn't see any other way out.
People who steal money tend to be using drugs.
Just sayin'
You might want to watch for some signs, there.
