[QUOTE="1905, post: 163352, member: 2668"] Hi and welcome!!! Oh boy, I was exactly where you are now, my son is 20. He was violent and when he was younger I just counted down the days until he was 18. For me, it never got any better, it did get worse the older he got. He was born this way, he never suddenly changed, he was always like this. When he turned 18, I got a restraining order, and that was the best thing I had ever done for him. He is still like this, but he pays his own bills and lives, he's a carpenter. When he was in our house, he robbed us, threatened us, beat us and wrecked the house. The police never helped me, saying it's not illegal to wreck your house-or rob it! (Later the judge disagreed!) I'm sure you are going through the same heck I endured, and it stinks!!!The more we tried to help him, the more he expected us to do, and he would do nothing for himself. Do you have other kids? Once she turns 18, she's on her own. She can have a normal life, and so can you!!!!!!!!! She has to learn the hard way, unfortunately. Things will get better, for now she's away from you, take care of you. You will get through this.-Alyssa [/QUOTE]
