[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 186788, member: 1550"] Oh, good heavens, Mom, nobody has a right to criticize you for not having enough money. Her daughter and your son shouldn't be having a baby right now. That there are makes it THEIR responsibility, not yours. You are doing fine...jeesh. I don't know how old your son is, but if he is 18, I would make him leave regardless of his "gray areas" or how he may try to break in because you deserve to be safe. Everyone does. Just make sure you change the locks and, if you can manage to afford it, some sort of alarm system, even a cheap one would be good. I'd take out a restraining order on son too and enforce it so he knows he will go to jail if he breaks the rule. If he is violent, he does not belong on the streets so if he is under 18, try to get him committed to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). When our kids are younger and defiant, we can handle them (although it's not easy). When they are teens, big, on drugs, violent and angry we can not nor should we be expected to. by the way, I learned the hard way that kids saying "I'm smoking pot and drinking" really means "I'm doing a LOT more than that, but I'm gonna tell ya." Can anyone else, big and strong preferably, stay with you for a while after you make him leave, if that's what you do? [/QUOTE]
