Well, I have a boyfriend and last time I was at his house, when I left his parents noticed a salt shaker missing and they weren't really that upset but my boyfriend knows about my kleptomania (he found out) and he knows it was me. We've talked about it and he wants me to tell his parents about my kleptomania. And I am so goddamn scared. This was a few days ago and ever since I've been ignoring his phonecalls and messages. I know he supports me fully about it but I really need help about telling his parents. I'm not ready to tell them but he really wants me to so does anybody know any solutions? Like how to tell them or something? I really don't want to tell because apart from my pshycologist, only Sy (boyfriend) and my social workers/fosters know about it. And if I had it my way, even less would know.

They have no need to know. Why would your BF demand that you tell them? How is that going to improve anything? It will only make his parents dislike you.
Having said that, my husband's parents know all about me and my "problems." They don't judge me. However I have been a member of this family for 17 years. I am the mother of their 4 only grandchildren. If they had known before their son married me I am sure they'd have strongly encouraged him not to. If your BF says you have to tell his parents or he's going to leave you, let him go. He doesn't understand your illness if he thinks he can scare you straight. You need to return their salt shaker though. Have him sneak it back into teh house. Good luck!

I agree to a point if you were married and soon to be I might see it but just dating I wouldn't tell I had a real hard time telling people even my pshycologist, but once you get caught by the police or someone higher up everyone will find out. So anyway it depends how important he is to you and why he wants you to tell them. I've stole things all my life I don;t need a damb thing but I can't hepl it. This year I got arrested and had to ask my family and friends for hepl and had to tell them all it was really hard to do. Everyone loves me but no one understands and thinks I should be able to just stop.. Sorry I'm just going on and on this is the first time I've really talked about it openly.
