[QUOTE="JMom, post: 757634, member: 19892"] Vicluth, Hi and welcome! Have you tried calling the police in HIS state? In Texas we have a crime called terroristic threat. We have traveled out of state to make arrests. Sometimes the fear of being arrested is enough to chill people out. At times I would just turn off my phone until I needed to make a call. Perhaps you could let your loved ones know that you will be doing it. You could check messages once a day unless you are expecting calls. Another option might be to buy a prepaid phone for important calls such as doctors, your mom, work, etc...and turn the other one off for a week. I know it is hard not to look at the messages, but you could try it for 2-3 days at first and see how you feel. Let your loved ones know that you do not to hear from him through them. They will get tired of dealing with him and can set their own boundaries I think the fact that you are here is a very good start, Most of us came here at our lowest point and found strength and guidance. This forum gave me the backbone I needed to take care of me, as I never could have done it alone. My son still struggles with addiction, but does so in his own home with his own money, I have learned to allow him to take care of himself, even if it meant taking a break from his drama. You are doing great, take a deep breath and allow yourself to feel all the pain and then move away from it. You can detach with love, even though he is being a turd. Love, JMOM [/QUOTE]
