Just sending some hugs from another mom. Glad you checked in. I pray your son will realize why he steals; sometimes it's so obvious to all except the one who needs to see it most. Give him time, but either way you are right in the fact that we can't do it for him.
I am glad you are getting on with your life. I know it still hurts when our children are still "lost".
