Pray for Avery. She is 13 about to be 14 yrs old and headed down a terrible trajectory. She is stealing constantly and I have tried everything to make her stop. She has been on different meds from her pediatrician,private therapy, counseling at school, principal intervention, teacher intervention, and we her parents are exhausted. She doesn't get the magnitude of stealing nor care. I don't know anything else to try. I am late to work constantly because I don't sleep well with all the stress she causes me. I have to lock my door to my room at night to keep her from stealing and just this morning she stole, yet again. She steals from anyone, anywhere, and any place. She acts like she is going to stop and less than 24hrs later, she does it again. I'm so embarrassed and confused. I buy her anything she wants and yet she chooses stealing. God I can't do this anymore and I don't have it in me. My work is suffering, my health is suffering, and I am not looking forward to Mother's day because I feel like a failure when it comes to this child. God what am I to do. As a mother, I feel horrible dealing with her stealing, lying, and bad behaviors daily. I have had her in therapy as soon as I discovered she was doing this at around 8yrs old, but nothing works for this child. Please help me Lord please!!
