She has no remorse. She tells her father, that she "didn't do anything". Right. she never does anything. Then tells her mother that she "did it for adrenalin." . Never mind that she was caught on security camera taking the make up and it somehow ended up in her purse. They couldn't quite nail her completely because she said she was "going to pay for it", had money in her wallet and hadn't yet left the store. So now, what about the repercussions? Its been 12 days (lets not forget this happened NEW YEARS DAY, after she and I had had a little "thing".)

To her father, SD17-almost-18 acts the perfect child. She was caught New Years Day shoplifting at JC Pennys and is now banned. They have her on camera, but she denied it to her father, my SO, and then turned around and admitted to it to her BM, and added that she enjoyed the adrenalin.

Christmas was good - everyone on best behavior, and lots of family merriment. It went well! But now I am reviewing the past year, with all the bad arguments, challenges and small amounts of success. It was a rough year. SO is now divorced a few months, some alimony is paid, no Child Support, no additional conflicts.

I have a SD17.5, who is always saying this when we are arguing or when we are making household decisions, or talking household rules. I have been in my DH's life for about 4 years now. We have been together as a couple for 2 1/2 years. We have lived together 1 year this December. I did not have much to bring in, some art, and plants and special knick knacks. DH bought new furniture after kicking BM out for cheating on him. We have been acquiring furniture and making things nice together, when we can afford to.
