[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 756675, member: 23405"] OW, I hope that you are ok and safe. Your situation is so volatile and I’m certain all of us on this site have been in this similar situation. I remember one instance when my son was still living at home. He and husband at the time got into it. My son popped my husband and broke his nose. It was a horrible scene. We called police but my husband refused to let them in when they got there. He told me to tell them everything was fine. This was probably 7 years ago now. So fast forward. This son has been living in his car off and on for 3 years. Still has anger issues, PTSD, ADHD and I believe but cannot be certain is working on alcohol addiction. My point here is that what I’m learning is that the longer we hide the problem, squash it, pretty it up and ignore it, it will not go away. The hardest thing we do in our part to change the situation is learning that it’s US who will likely need to make the changes to better the situation. Our adult kids will not ever likely be the ones to do that first. That’s where you need courage and I believe strength from God to do what you know you must. Be careful, be safe and for once in your life put yourself first. The reality is this kind of dynamic will not likely get better soon. But take care of yourself because you can begin to heal once they are out of your house. [/QUOTE]
