[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 676977, member: 19951"] Great advice here from so many folks. Glad you are getting counseling, diagnosis and a plan to help son. There are laws to evict and you have to do it legally or they could sue you (Adult child). YOU can get a quick evict via TPO/PPO should he get violent again before you get all the pieces of the plan worked out. Fear of our children hurting us or our homes is a nightmare and they KNOW when you are afraid. I love what someone here said about if he denies he has a problem then you come back great, then there is no reason why at your age you should be living in our house, time to move on. I do think you should call the police anytime he becomes violent. This is your documentation should you ever need it for legal reasons or to get him removed from your home and to get him help down the road. I like to think of ebb and tide cycles of the ocean in dealing with how to help our children. It cycles, they seem to be good, going great direction, then they come back in our lives riding on a surfboard like a Sunami. The guilt for us, making sure we went down a list, checking off every possible solution, to help us be able to say, "Well, we tried, did everything we could and now he is on his own". YOU will know when you have reached that point. GUILT is inevitable but the important thing is not to let GUILT rip your life apart. Don't allow the guilt to linger. Wishing you best in finding help for your son. [/QUOTE]
