[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 765523, member: 18958"] Horrible! In my state this is a serious felony and the terrorist threat could (and should) get him a few years in prison. His alcoholism is no excuse. He is responsible for what he does and says when he is inebriated. No. In my opinion, you need to disengage. His life is his. These are serious acts and serious charges that cannot be minimized. I agree with the others who have responded. For good reason. Your son is trouble. Treated like a hothouse flower, he succeeds. However, he does not seem to acknowledge or appreciate the support. He becomes aggressive and entitled when there is a ripple in the road. This is a character or temperamental flaw that he needs to remediate. It is not your responsibility to take responsibility for his violence. Even if you weren't ill with cancer, your health and well-being, and that of the family, are absolute priorities. Please do not consider bailing him out. I do not think he is safe to be living with the family until he gets serious and long-term treatment for his anger, substance abuse and impulsivity. Regardless of his accomplishments, he has serious issues that only he can handle. [/QUOTE]
