[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 720188, member: 13542"] It doesn't sound right that the court ordered he return to your home without consulting you. He is a legal adult, you are not responsible for him. You might try giving NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness a call, you can access them online, they have chapters in many cities, they may be able to offer you some guidance and support. They have resources and information for us, the parents. As Sam3 mentioned, you might try contacting an attorney and if you cannot afford one, contact Legal Aid. You need an advocate. You're depleted and beaten down, but you're going to have to fight for your rights and find out how you can remove him from your home, he is a danger to you, he is an abuser. This is domestic violence. If you are afraid for your safety if he returns to your home, call a Domestic Violence hotline (or 911) and ask for help. This does not sound like a safe or in any way healthy environment for you. Do whatever you can to find help within the system. Someone needs to hear the truth and protect you. You absolutely deserve to have a life of peace and safety. You deserve to feel safe and cared for. Do not allow your son to gain access to your home without fighting for what YOU want. It is your home. I know this is hard, but if you don't have an advocate, you're going to have to take a stand for yourself. Hang in there. Put one step in front of the other and get your life back.
