So, now we are at a strange sort of 'calm after the storm' situation.

We changed the password on the modem/digibox as SS has now been banned from using the internet here. DH didn't tell him though. We were expecting him to come downstairs and ask if there was something wrong with the internet as he could not access it but he didn't. Strange... DH went upstairs into his room and of course, he was using a cable. DH ripped that out of the wall and confiscated it. Told him that our internet was not available to him after his actions.

SS has not at any time apologised for stealing. He went into town and got himself a lunch etc but at no point did it occur to him to get money out of his account to repay what he stole. Nothing. DH will not be paying his allowance anyway.

DH has told him that he wants him out of the house as soon as possible, when his schooling is finished he is to get a job and has pointed him in the direction of something that would mean he would be away a lot and then once he has saved up a bit he can find himself a small apartment.

SS acts like nothing happned. He always acts like this afterwards. As if we are supposed to be fine with it all and just 'move on' until the next time. We have been down that route so many times that we are now exhausted and sick of him. We have no intention of giving him the internet password again, he probably thinks its for a week or limited time. It is not. He seems to think we should continue to treat him like he is a naughty 8 year old. That time is soooo gone.

DH printed out a very large print list saying :-

I do not steal

I do not lie

I answer respectfully when spoken to

I do not physically attack people

He posted it on his bedroom wall and we don't give a damn if family or anyone sees it. We are so done with his s**t.
