[QUOTE="katya02, post: 395512, member: 2884"] I'm sorry to hear this. Honestly, there isn't anything you can do, or should feel you have to do, to prevent a situation like this happening. You made arrangements to shorten your work day. You told your difficult child the plan. HE then pushed the issue by insisting on going first thing in the morning. When he slammed and cracked the door, you did the right thing by telling him the outing was off (and he should pay for the door, via chores or a part-time job). It sounds like he was waiting for an excuse to go off the rails here; the situation simply didn't warrant his blow-up. The drug test may have just not caught some of the substances he may be doing; pot stays positive a long time, but other things go negative very quickly. You're right to be suspicious. It's completely heartbreaking and nerve-wracking to go through this. I'm so sorry, and sending cyber-hugs and support. I'm especially sorry you have the municipal police problem in addition. They may have to pick him up, though, if he gets into trouble somewhere. In fact, your brother could put a call in to police regarding the assault at his house. Or, if your difficult child hasn't come home, you could report him a runaway. It sounds as though he needs to get into some aspect of 'the system' to be mandated to counseling and supervision.
