[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 578359, member: 1967"] MWM, I think you should add that when you threw your daughter out you actually sent her to your adult son's home where she had to follow strict rules and got clean. I think you did the right thing but it is not the same as throwing your child out to the streets. The new posters don't know your backstory so I just wanted to clarify it for them. buddie ~ welcome! Why don't you start your own thread and introduce yourself? We would love to get to know you and your story. wakegirl ~ I think it is time to let the court take over and let your difficult child learn about life consequences. He is being abusive to you and you should not have to put up with that behavior. Whether he goes to jail or treatment is in his hands . . . either way he is out of your home and you don't have to live with abuse. I totally understand your feelings of how did things get this way. There is a saying in AlAnon that we use here a lot. We call it the three C's and I found it comforting when I first heard it: You didnt cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. Another saying we use is Let Go and Let God. I think you have reached that point. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
