Guys, no need to respond. This is a troll. They started another thread on the same subject.[/quote]

I am not a troll. I started another thread because this one was getting one-sided opinions (and not a lot of engagement). I'm fine with the other thread being deleted.[/quote]

OP - Most people cannot walk on your shoes and understand you... Trust me, I know.

We have a son who is in College right now and he's terrible managing money. I had to change my credit card 3 times already, because he gets a hold of it and swipes it like it's free money. 
This has been going on for years and still doesn't learn. We have stop giving him things as a consequence so he gets jobs but then gets fired (never his fault).

Don't get me wrong, he's a sweet, charming boy, gets decent grades but always has his own agenda... It's been YEARS of ups and downs since he was 13.

At this point, we just want for him to get a degree and finish College....Then after that, we're DONE. Done, Done.

He's gone to therapy (because we made him/not because he though he needed it) but he says is boring and pointless. He has switched therapist 3 times because he found them inept. One time laughing he  told me he lies to the therapist and they believe him... He says they are "gullible".

We've had MANY conversations and expectations but he just hates rules. I've SO MANY sleepless nights and anxiety thinking about him...

I think you and your daughter need a break from each other.... A break that might turn into years. No one needs a toxic family member in their lives whether is your mom or your daughter...

PS: I would have not gone to the police though. I would have simply change all my credit cards (again).

You all just need time apart to heal...

But OP has not described any of the stuff you're going through with your son. Apparently this is the first time her child has ever stolen from her. Not all theft comes from sociopathic tendencies. You also speak of your son in balanced terms, which OP does not. OP really seems like the problem here, whereas you seem to have struggled with someone who doesn't have a moral compass.
