[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’ll be honest, based on your “update” - if you are concerned, why are you not bringing this up with your child’s therapist, and if there is that much upheaval in your entire lives, then perhaps you also need to seek out a family therapist. Unfortunately, crowdsourcing and hive mind can’t help you fix your family. Something is going on in your home, and the “stealing” is a symptom, not the actual problem. The fact that it’s both your children makes me wonder what else is going on - is it sexual abuse? Substance abuse? Gambling? Domestic violence?

You’re right to wonder about it, but again - the issue isn’t the food, and locking it up isn’t the solution. These children are probably locking something up and food is the key to some kind of release. [/quote]

Food is the key to some kind of release...

If you could figure out the solution to that we would have a lot less obese adults too.  [/quote],

Yes, probably, as well as the root to much substance abuse like alcoholism. But people want to point to “willpower” and the like, instead of realizing that Many of these behaviours are a mechanism of self medication. You can’t just diet or stop drinking and land yourself out of loneliness, hopelessness, poverty, depression. Stopping can help, but it’s not the solution. [/quote]
