[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 706230, member: 15032"] Percy So sorry you have to endure this. I know how awful it is to not have your home peaceful but my problem child was our youngest so I didn't have younger ones to worry about but at that time our two older boys (both good kids) came home from college and lived with us to save money. They are out now. I often felt embarrassed because we could not control our son/their brother. It could have been a happy time with all five of us together for the last time but Difficult Child ruined it for everyone. I think you are handling this beautifully and you are getting great advice here. I also have to believe that it is more than marijuana. If he is not mentally ill, there has to be more than marijuana going on here. I also agree that him blocking you from coming into the bathroom is very wrong/abusive or whatever you want to call it and the way he talks to you is horrible!!! Our son never did either of these things but husband would have locked him out of the house and not cared if he had gotten that aggressive. I would have been the one worried about him though. Taking the door off is a great idea. We have done that as well. I also saw a post someplace here today about a son having only a sleeping bag in his room and had to earn his "things" back which worked for them. When they are disrespecting you and your home like that, it's almost like you're at war. Stay strong and we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
