[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 137244, member: 1233"] I am always amazed when the police try to talk you OUT of pressing charges. I actually was in court before I learned the officer did NOT fill out the paperwork that I was pressing assault charges - the judge had to force him to fill out the papers!!! It was amazing. We couldn't get help because he had no charges against him, but when we demanded to file charges (as is our right under the law) the officer just wouldn't!!! I called the sheriff (who I know, as a friend of my dad's) and complained about this. They say so many parents back out it just makes the headache bigger for them if they fill paperwork out before it goes to court. I was amazed! No wonder parents don't file, your officers tell us NOT to! The sheriff was not happy to hear that! Anyway, keep filing charges, you KNOW it is the right thing to do. It really does sound like meth use, one of the things they tell us to watch for is all over acne that is NOT the usual for our child. I agree with BBK, go to al-anon. It will change your life, make it so much better. It will give you all kinds of support to do what is right, to move on with your life, and to give your attn to the younger kids who NEED it. They are at risk for addiction because the older bro is using - want to believe older bro when he says it is no big thing. He will try to get them addicted to prove he is right about drug use being no big deal. My own bro tried this with me - to the point of holding me down pouring beer into my mouth. Only stopped when I barfed on him. Take care of your younger kids, let 18 fend for himself. Warn cousin, then stay OUT of it. hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
