[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 720455, member: 1233"] Why not go to the local domestic violence agency and ask them for counseling? You usually have to go to group therapy first and then you get individual. At least that is the way it is here. However they get few parents abused by kids, so you may just get individual therapy. I did. I got a lot of help from our local DV center. They were incredible. It cannot hurt to ask and the help is usually free. Always remember to think of the first few sessions as getting to know the therapist, or interviewing the therapist. YOU interviewing them. Some won't be the right fit, but if you stick with it, you will find someone who will really help. As for the issue with your son, he is on bond. Go to the bail bond person and say he cannot live with you any longer. It will revoke his bond. That means he goes to jail. They can come and get him. If you are in court when he goes, stand up and object in the court if the judge says he is to live with you. Don't just yell out, but stand up and raise your hand to get the judge's attention. Say the lawyer would not speak with you but you are not willing to have your son live with you. I know it is hard to say, but it is the best thing for your son. It forces him to face the consequences of his actions. He is the one who got into trouble, the one who abuses you. You do NOT have to take him into your home and support him. I know how hard it is. I had to do that with my son. [/QUOTE]
