[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 765539, member: 19522"] Good morning, Thank you for your kind words. Thank you Fairydust. The support I have felt here all these years is immeasurable. It has unfortunately been a long journey for our family, but with each challenge we learn. It is hard for people who have not faced this to understand. It is simple to them, just kick them out, just press charges, etc. but the emotions behind all of the drama and chaos, they have not experienced. It is a difficult challenge to work towards detachment and take a stance for peace in our homes. That must have been hard, Bluebell. With that said, it is a most reasonable boundary to set. You are protecting yourself and your home and letting your son know that his actions will not be tolerated. At least he knows he was wrong, hopefully he will see sooner than later, that his excessive drinking causes him to lose control of himself. My son is 23, and is at the moment, pretty stable. He did get into partying with his friends in college and his personality changed dramatically for a time. I had several conversations with him and he was in denial. That was hard to witness, considering our history with his sisters. He has recently apologized for his behavior and is working towards being more responsible. Prayers going up for all of our adult children that they are able to navigate through the challenges life presents, resist temptation and learn through their struggles how to live better. Your son is resourceful. That’s a plus. Hopefully he will work towards finding a better living situation. I track my son, too. (Yeah, I know!) Hallelujah! What a relief! Keep working on self care and drawing that line when it comes to your son. It is a loving thing to do, to not let our adult wayward kids disrespect our boundaries, and if they do, follow through with a strong stance for working towards peace in our lives. Take care!
