[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709689, member: 18958"] You can get a restraining order. We had to call the cops over and over again. My son would call the cops on us to put us in jail. It was horrible. He would walk around my neighborhood with an orange neon sleeping bag--unfurled, flying in the week. Once he took a handmade crochet bedspread to go sleep in the park a half block away. For 2 weeks he slept under a bridge on the street I drive to come home. It is better now. I would consider a restraining order. Your son cannot be allowed to do this to you. The only way he will change is if you call him on all of this. Each time. There is a danger here, about the altercations. Fighting can become physical. My son (accidentally??) broke my foot once. He said it was "defensive." It does not help them to let them do this. And it is horrible for us. Life has rules. For everybody. People do not get to do exactly what they want when then want. That he needs to stabilize with his weed, is his issue. Not yours. Profoundly disabled people work or go to school or training. If they cannot they go to Voc Rehab or therapy or both. We cannot let our sons opt out of life...not in our houses. PS If you file a restraining order, he will be arrested if he crosses it. But I think to get one you have to have a record of his aggressing against you or threats. [/QUOTE]
