[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 686924, member: 17720"] I am sorry to hear this happened to you, after you were trying to help your son and your future grandchild. It sure would be nice if there was a book somewhere that told us the right thing to do in these situations, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, all we can do is go with our gut feelings, based on what we know about our situations and our difficult children. I think most of us here have gone back and forth many times in terms of how much we "help" our troubled adult children. My gut feeling on how much to step in has become heavily influenced by whether or not there has been a change in ACTIONS, not words. Talk is very cheap, and our difficult children are very good at telling us what we want to hear. It is not an easy choice for you, given the ramifications of turning them in. But clearly he cannot live with you anymore. I would not even give him a week, honestly. He would be out today. Welcome to the boards. I'm sorry you had to find us but glad you did. [/QUOTE]
