[QUOTE="Fran, post: 317893, member: 3"] It's very scary for your grandson because he doesn't seem to understand the invasion of someone's home in the middle of the night is very [I]dangerous to him. [/I] I have no doubt that if someone was doing the same to your home or my home we would be ready to protect our children and home by calling the police and being armed. I don't own a gun but I am sure the baseball bat under the bed would be out and ready. Would you really wait to ask the person who is in the wrong place at the wrong time acting in an inappropriate way what his intentions were? I doubt it. Although you understand your difficult child's behavior it is unreasonable to expect regular people to understand threatening behavior at 1:30AM and be ok with it. Your grandson was in the wrong and people will defend their homes. All you can do is reinforce to difficult child that his behavior has put him in harm's way once again. You can't stop him from his bad choices but you can't be angry with others for dishing out the consequences that may come about. The neighbor is terrified and I'm sure you are terrified of the possible danger to your grandson. It's going to make everyone defensive. I hope difficult child learns something about why bad things happen to him because of his drinking. [/QUOTE]
