[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 478723"] My son was 18 living here and flagrantly disobeying all our rules, in particular taking our car out without permission in the middle of the night. We decided he had to go. So we tried to talk to him, we were going to give him 2 weeks to obey the rules (simple courteous rules, nothing you would not normally expect of any roommate) or he would have to leave. He then threatened me with violence. At which point I walked out of the room, cried, and then went to the police and talked to them. I had them come an hour later and give him a no tresspass order and tell him he had to leave. It was absolutely awful but I was glad the police were here... he got mouthy with me and boy the cop put a stop to that fast. That was 2 years ago and a lot has happened since then. At least for now things are better and he has just finished a substance abuse inpatient program out of state, and is now doing their outpatient program. I am very cautiously optimistic but know we could be on the down side of this roller coaster in a heart beat. What I do know is that my husband, daughter and I have a lot more peace without him living here. I had forgotten how nice it can be to just spend time at home, becuase when he was here I preferred being out of the house. It is lonely because people don't always understand but there is support here and I have also found support at alanon. TL [/QUOTE]
