[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622955, member: 1550"] Hi there and I'm so sorry you are going through this craziness. I do have a question. Why would you leave your own house rather than get him out? And why didn't you tell the cops he tried to break your arm? That's pretty serious and could have gotten him a restraining order so that he'd HAVE to leave. Your child is now a drug addict and any money you give him, as well meaning as it is, will go to drugs. My own opinion, which is only worth what it is, is that the money train should be cut off. Our adult kids learn how to couch surf and navigate the streets and take advantage of us for our money any way you can. This adult tried to break your arm. Why give him money? Anyway, my heart goes out to your hurting mommy heart, but (and this is JUST MY OPINION) I would end your son calling the shots and he certainly should not force your poor 11 year old to live in chaos just because he is. He needs to live elsewehre and if he is willing to follow the rules some homeless shelters are available. If he is not willing to follow the rules, well, he may learn how to live on the streets. Amazingly, most of them do not die or get sick. They do it fine, or what THEY consider fine, and the rest of us can finally have peace. You and yours deserve a good life, in spite of this struggling child of yours. You can not control his choices. Only he can change himself. [/QUOTE]
