[QUOTE="saving grace, post: 12267, member: 1538"] I am sorry that your going through this. I have been where you are. My son has the biggest room in the house, its my refinished room in the basement. Time and time again he abused my home, he abused that room, throwing things, punching walls, doors burning the carpet etc. About 2 years ago when we were in Florida and he was supposed to be living in a sober house he stayed at our house, robbed us blind, did drugs and left the needles etc all over the room, I found out he was doing this, I called his PO he issued a warrent and the cops went to my house waited until they saw him come out to smoke a cigarette and arrested him, he was lucky they let him put on clothes and shoes. I was humiliated when I found out what that roomed looked like, knowing that the cops and PO had been in there. He went to jail for a week. The DAY my plane landed I stripped the room clean, Not one thing left reminded me of difficult child. I turned it into a playroom for babygirl, pink, purple, dolls and toys. I did pack everything that was not trash, and put it in the shed outside. It was liberating, it made me feel sooooo good. I had so much stress and anguish every time I would go into that room. When he got out of jail he was then being sent to a state run rehab for 6 months, he had about 3 hours to come and get clothes etc... he cried when he saw the room, he couldnt believe I did it. That was about 2 years ago, he has been living back here for about 6 months now and I have not allwowed him a "room" in my home. He sleeps on a futon on the other side of the basement next to the furnace. He does watch tv in there and will have a few friends over and hang out but I remind him time and time again that is Babygirls space NOT his and to respect it. Sorry I rambled but I thought the whole story would be better to describe how good I felt and still do that I have removed those bad memories from MY house. I did keep his stuff and I packed it in bags and brown boxes. Grace [/QUOTE]
