[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 186921, member: 1233"] Liberty, First buy new locks. Then go to the domestic violence shelter in your area. Ask them how best to handle getting your drunk, addicted 17 or 18 yo child out of your house - let them know he has a history of being violent to your home and person. Then follow what they say. The very same day you kick him out change the locks (yourself or by getting someone else to install the new locks) on everything that has a lock. Garage, etc.... Make sure the windows have locks that are tight. Get a cheap alarmsystem if you can. Chances are the alarm fee is less than the cost of feeding and housing a 17yo. Will he be 18 soon? In many states you need to have them be 18 before you can kick them out. You CAN call the police/sheriff the very next time he is violent to you and press charges for domestic abuse/assault. Also for property damage of whatever kind he does. When the police come, INSIST that you will NOT let him back in. Don't let them talk/guilt them into taking him back in. Stick to your guns and make them take him. The county probably has a youth shelter. The cops will know where to take him be it jail or shelter or whatever. You have endured enough. It is time to make it stop. The DV people are VERY helpful - and may even be able to help you get the alarm system in for cheap. [/QUOTE]
