He's been using since high school, in and out of many rehabs. Most recently a Drug Rehabilitation at County Jail. 90 days. Released in time to attend his sister's wedding in late September 2016.
Things were good, but for a very short time.
Now, in December, 3 months post DRC program, major signs of usage. Last night I called the police to have him arrested after finding him passed out (but still conscious) surrounded by multiple bags of heroin and a needle.
Since he's on probation, I had hoped the police would have kept him locked up and send him back to County.
That didn't happen.
They released him, and he showed up on my doorstep. We didn't allow him into the house, he slept in one of our unlocked cars (next time I'll be sure they're all locked)
Told him he cannot return home. He said he knows his rights, and we cannot keep him from his home.
He does not pay rent.
He has stolen thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, electronics, money, and collectibles from us in the past, and we just realized this week a brand new $800 generator, still in the box, is missing from our garage. And told his teenage sister he took $100 from her wallet yesterday, but will pay her back.
I need him out of my house.
What are our rights as a family, two parents and a teenage child, who live here and are subjected to his abuse (it has never been physical, but the emotional toil is killing us).
