[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 564673"] The next time your son starts getting violent, throw things, punches holes in walls etc. call the police! Let them come and see the damage. Your son needs to know you will not tolerate that... there is no way you should put up with that. When my son was 18 he did something and I told him he had to follow our rules (very very basic) or he needed to find another place to live. He threatened to bash my teeth in.... I went and talked to the police and they came and told him he needed to leave. It was awful but I have to say our house is now a place I like to be rather than a place I want to escape from!! My son is now 21 and is hitchhiking around the country. I dont know how things will turn out BUT our relationship is in a much better place. I have come to the conclusion he needs to figure things out for himself and all I can give him is my love... and he knows we love him and support him (not financially) and that I wont put up with any abuse. He has been to several rehabs but does not think he is an addict... and so I am letting go. I have done all I can. However I am hearing from him a wish to get his life together which at least is an improvement. TL [/QUOTE]
