any help?
hello. I have a 14 yr old nephew of my husbands that was removed from his mothers custody. We accepted full custody in court for him. he was 12 at the time. he was living in a very unhappy, unhealthy, unsafe environment. His mother and step-father were both drug dealers and his step-father an abusive alcoholic. we have had our ups and downs the past two years. i had him in consuling for a long time and we have provided the best home possible for him. we have two children ourselves 3 and 5. our 14 yr old recently started stealing money from us and just last night stole a bottle of rum from our cabinet. when i found him at his cousins he had the rum and had been drinking. i very seldom ever drink the rum was from new years eve. my husband hasn't drank anything since he was 16. he is now 32. i'm sure what to do? i am really lost. we feel hurt and disappointed. we feel like he has really taken advantage of us and all we've done for him. we don't want him setting this type of example for the other children either.
