[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 686941, member: 20054"] Hi Sad. So sorry you have to be here, but welcome. Many of us have been in similar situations. This is such a hard place, our 28 y.o. son has put us through the ringer too. We had to call police on him one night simply due to being afraid of his verbal abuse, aggressiveness, violence, he was drunk/ drugged at the time. I so apologized to and thanked the officer and then sat on the step watching them wrestle him to the ground in my own front yard. I just cried and it's one thing that's hard to forget to this day. But it was the[I] right[/I] thing. If your home is not a safe place, what is? I so agree with this and one step further, write down your plan so you don't bend. If you prefer to not press charges now, then could that be your ace in the hole if they don't leave? Charges or go? Remember if he had stolen from anyone else he would be charged. You have been more than gracious. He has bit the hand that fed him and needs consequences. 2 adults, they have jobs, it is now their responsibility to make it-if not now-when? [/QUOTE]
