"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same results." That statement holds true for both the addict and for the people that love them. In the past when he was bailed out of HIS problems, did he show gratitude. Did it help him to become clean. Probably not. One of my boundaries with my daughter is that if she ever steals from me, I will prosecute her. Stealing is stealing and you have to take a step back and realize that it does not matter if it is from family or a stranger. The results are the same. You are not responsible for his stealing and you are not responsible for the consequences. They both are his to own. And his to deal with. I know it is hard so I will send hugs and prayers your way.
