My Son Stole From My Boyfriend

Home More advice Kids

Last March my boyfriend and I found out that my 13 year old son had been stealing from him. We're not sure exactly how much he took. We think it was about $60. I punished my son for what he did, and made him pay the money back to my boyfriend. As time has passed by my boyfriend just can't seem to shake these bad feelings that he has toward my son. I've suggested that the two of them need to talk about the situation, because I've talked to my son about it and I've talked to my boyfriend about it and that has not done anything to help the situation.

We're at a point right now where something has to be done, because I told my boyfriend the other night that I feel like I can't relax when the three of us are together. I feel like he only notices the bad things about my son. Of course, he feels bad that I feel that way. But, he also has no idea of a solution to our problem. Neither do I.

We've taken two days away from each other to think of possible solutions. When the two days are up I don't know what will happen. If we don't come up with anything, I'm afraid that may mean that this will be the end of our relationship.

I've been in this relationship for 15 months now. This man treats me with more respect, love, and consideration than anyone ever has. To me he is truly wonderful, and the best thing that has ever happened to my romantic life.

It's just this one issue. This one BIG issue. And it's tearing me up thinking that our relationship may come to an end because of it. We both want more than anything to work this out.

Please...if anyone has any suggestions whatsoever...please feel free to share them with me.

Thank You
