[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 726313, member: 19522"] Hello CH, welcome, and so very sorry for your need to be here. What an ordeal you are going through. First off, if this is your real name, you may want to change it here. It's to protect our privacy, as CD is a public site. Ouch. You are in a scary situation. It is not bad at all for you to say you were at peace. It's the truth. Our d c's homeless and using drugs are unpredictable. Aside from him being your son, the worry and despair that comes along with the addiction and homelessness, he is harassing you. At least if he was in jail, you wouldn't have to worry about that, too. He is a tall man. I would be scared. I am a bit leery of my two [I]daughters,[/I] there has been times when they were menacing, looming. I am sorry for your predicament. It's awful. I think I would be calling the police and logging down these incidences and their response. This is unacceptable. If it were a stranger, would they not arrest him? Unfortunately, there is no way to help someone who refuses it. If love could cure this, we wouldn't have this site, with so many parents of adult children gone off the rails, trying to find a solution. My biggest concern after reading your post, is how do YOU stay safe? There certainly must be something the authorities can do? I don't think it is right that your son can continue to be a threat to you, without repercussions. It is NO way for you to live, on edge, wondering when the next visit will be. Please take care of yourself, and keep your doors locked. Do you have security cameras? A dog? Does your house have an alarm system? There will be more members who will come along and offer advice. The site is slow sometimes on weekends. There are members who have similar situations, where d cs have been scary. I am one of them, you are not alone in this. As I wrote, my daughters have been unpredictable at times, bringing chaos and violence, and street people over to my home. When my husband was alive, I felt a little more safe. He has passed, and my eldest has been coming around. She is homeless, and I don't know what to expect from her. It is a sad situation to be leery of our own adult children, but, it is what it is. We didn't cause it, can't cure, or control their choices. You matter CH. Your safety and the security and sanctity of your home, matters. Most of all, we deserve to have peace of mind. There will be more replies tomorrow. Keep posting, and let us know how you are doing. You are not alone, dear. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
