Should I feel bad

My last post was of my 20yo SS that had moved in and I wanted him out due to his past with drugs, his laziness, lack of respect for me or my husband. He was put out. He moved back in with his grandma that has enabled him all his life. She offered to buy him a $12,000 used car that wasn't good enough, he wanted one that was at least worth $20K. I guess in his mind he is worth it. So she said forget it and he is still car-less. Then he decided to steal her CC and charge it up. So she had enough and kicked him out. Guess whose door he came knocking on... You got it ours cause no one else wanted him. My husband stupidly let him back in. He said he can't have his son on the street. I was a little insensitive and said a bus depot is not the street. I lost the battle and the little prick came to stay with us for 3 days. All the while I'm having to hide my belongings. Since if he will steal from a woman he "loves and respects" what would he do in my house. Well his 3 days were up we got him out. He couldn't find a halfway house to stay in since in my area they require you to be drug free and they test. He told us he couldn't pass a piss test. Shocker there... I had hidden my xanax in a different place than my purse. And this morning I went to go get it since I had my house back. Which I found it, all but one pill gone!!!! The little prick went through my personal belongings, which means he would have had to raid my closet to find it. It was hidden, in a small box, inside of a bag inside of a bigger box behind some old clothes on a shelf in the back of my closet. REALLY you little jerk??? This morning I called his parole officer. Now hopefully the courts will do something with him. He has no respect for his family or himself. If he keeps using he's gonna end up dead. He does not care about the stress and worry that he gives his family. He excepts to be taken care of and not have to work for anything just have everything handed to him. Before we kicked him out the first time, he asked me what I was doing when I was 20. I told him I was a full time student and working 32 hours a week. He did not like that answer and shut up... Part of me feels guilty for calling his PO, i feel like it should have come from someone else, one of his parents or grandparents but I know they will not do it. I do not want to see him dead, but if he keeps using they will find him dead with a needle in his arm or he will have gotten involved with the wrong people and who knows what will happen.... Should I feel bad???

You did the right thing. He stole from You. You called because you dont want him dead, you have nothing to feel bad about.

I personally wouldn't feel bad but I wonder how your DH will react to you reporting his son...honestly though, this man has rifled through your personal belongs and stolen from you. You were uncomfortable with him in YOUR home & your DH was well aware of that yet chose to have him there rather than on the streets.

If your SS's PO does decide incarceration is the best route, then at least he will be out of your hair (& belongings) & not living on the streets.

Your DH is the one who should feel bad not you. DH sticking his head in the sand, putting a roof over his addict son and not standing guard over him is the one who should be having an attack of the guilts. DH is enabling his son, and you know it. The boy is lucky you did what you did and if your DH thinks anything else, get the PO to talk to him.

Thanks everyone. I know he is an adult and his actions are his not anyone else. I'm hoping this does not cause to much of a rift between me and the husband. I just couldn't take it anymore. I've been on the fence since he was first living with us if I should call his PO or not. He swore up and down he was not using then I didn't believe him but could not find the evidence to back it up. Anytime we would confront him on sleeping all day or nodding off he would just say he was overly tired. From what sleeping on the couch??? My tuchis... Now it came out of his own mouth that he used. He stole from his Gma, went through my things, took my meds, (which I only seem to need when the Skids are around) It makes me tired just thinking about him. Oh and he is a habitual liar. I don't know if the boy would know the truth if it smacked him in the face, which trust me when I found out this morning he went through my things is the exact thing I want to do. Hopefully his PO does something, get him into rehab or whatever. He needs to grow up and be a man and stop expecting everyone else to take care of him

What you did was really an act of love. YOU are the one who actually cares enough about the asshole to DO SOMETHING to try to save his life. If the people WHO SHOULD BE DOING WHAT YOU DID can't see that -- then they are morons and no wonder that kid turned out that way.
