[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! I was a kid who stole food and your kids sound a lot like me. I wish my parents had dealt with it because it led to being overweight, then a binge eating disorder, followed by a 20 year struggle with bulimia and disordered eating (which I'm still dealing with). Anxiety, depression, and (at the time undiagnosed) ADHD led to my food stealing. Most of the time I wasn't even hungry. I would not recommend not buying things anymore. It will just lead to hoarding and stealing when you eventually buy things again. Or they will try to figure out where you are hiding "your" supply. What you need to do is work with a new therapist. A lot of this is behavior influenced and finding the right therapist/meds/whatever will work wonders. It may not be a bad idea to find a therapist for yourself or resources for a parent dealing with impulse control issues. Anyways OP, I hope you're able to get your kids some help. [/quote]
