[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 555476, member: 59"] Sigh, I have had my fill of "helpful" people who drag our difficult child's down into the same sewer hole they are in. Many of us have had that experience. I know what I would do but you have to do what your heart tells you. I would not let him back in the house, he is on drugs and violent and verbally abusive. He trashed a car and left it for scrap. When my difficult child went to live with neighbors who allowed their kids to do drugs in their home I told her that she could not come home and that she needed drug treatment, and I stuck to it. You could force him to come home, he is a minor, you could call the police and charge him and the parents who are helping him, which may be an alternative. But none of that will get him the help he needs. If he can't support himself I seriously doubt whether emancipation will occur. I would ignore his requests and let him make the next move. He doesn't have a car and if he has any money it will run out shortly. He will escalate things when he doesn't get his way. by the way I told my difficult child to remove her family from her fb friends also so we didn't have to see her garbage. She also posted a very nasty comment about her family and one of her old friends from high school who is a great girl posted that she felt very sorry for her family and we didn't deserve that. So the people that know you will know the real story. Nancy [/QUOTE]
