[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 751489, member: 13303"] My W and I just allowed our son to move in with us. He is 19, and fresh out of rehab and a sober living facility. The latter kicked him out because he would not comply with their rules....not a good precedent for moving in with us. For those of you who might not know our story which is long and extends back several years, this son was completely estranged from us, by his own decision, from ages 16 through 18 with a few month break in between. He has been violent with my wife in the past and also with other family members though never with me. I was against this move but my W and I finally agreed on a fairly strict contract, which we all signed. So we'll see how it goes. As of now he is working and finishing his high school diploma. He does well for a while and then goes off the rails - this has been his pattern since freshman year of high school - he is brilliant, has so much potential, but his mental illness trumps it all. The first week has been a success thus far I would say. We're all in this together. [/QUOTE]
