[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706201, member: 1550"] We searched our daughters room too and didnt find anything ominous. She was smart enough to stash the harder stuff other places. So we had no reason to think it was more than pot either. But it was. Very much so. Drinking makes those with alcohol sensitivity get violent sometimes. I stand by saying this is very bad for younger kids to see this in the house. I imagine they felt frightened and unsafe seeing brother shoving you and then literally walking free with no consequences to do this disruption again. They need to know it will never happen again. But without other action...they know it will and they love and worry about you. I have younger kids who saw their sister act out but frankly she was not nearly as difficult as your son Still the cops would come around asking her questions and the younger kids were very scared. They were much younger than Sister and always loved their sister but they were much more relaxed after she left and the house became peaceful and serene. And daughter did well once she went to Chicago to live with very stern older brother who would have tossed her out without a thought if she had lit up one cigarette or failed to work while paying rent to live in his basement. She decided to comply with him and even quit cigarettes and walked to and from her job in a Chicago winter. How do your younger kids feel about the household chaos? Don't tell us. You don't have to. Just think about it. The question is for you. You matter too and this is all killing you. If you do not have a therapist for YOU to help guide you, I hope you get one for YOU. This forum is great but it can't replace real time neutral third party professional help from somebody who is not going through this and can offer non emotional, logical support. Al Anon is good too I used both. Your younger kids will probably be uneasy or worse, depending on their age and personalities, as long as this son is there. What if you had a sibling like your son when you had been a kid? I hope whatever you do works out. I am glad he is almost 18. That gives you more options. [/QUOTE]
