[QUOTE="libertynow, post: 186968, member: 5197"] [B]thank you everyone for your support[/B] -I [I]really[/I] appreciate it. difficult child will be 18 this month - I 've asked him to be out by month-end. We'll see what happens... I saw some mentions of domestic violence shelters - I have to say not found them supportive at least in my case. One night I called after difficult child had rage and broke things, pushed me around. He left but I was afraid he'd come back that night. The domestic hotline told me I couldn't kick him out until he was 18 or [I][B]I [/B][/I]would be charged with child neglect/endangerment. I was astounded to say the least-it's such a hard decision to make that call already and then to get no support just finished me. I stayed awake all night. So i continue to watch for signals and get out of the house. most of the time I succeed. If he leaves, I intend to get a room boarder to help with rent, although I don't know if it will be soon enough to save me from foreclosure. I'm so glad this group is here. Other people complain their kids don't do their homework or talk too much on the phone--they have no idea and cannot begin to relate. Seeing this forum makes me feel less a failure and helps me justify what I tell myself--that I did everything i could do and it wasn't enough but not my fault. Question: have any of you had situation where they do these things in front of others, like their friends or in very public place --how do you handle? I've felt so embarrassed and helpless. Thanks again to all of you for listening and responding. [/QUOTE]
