[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 656062, member: 17635"] Hi Iwantpeace, Another member here welcoming you to this Godsend-of-a-place for parents of kids like ours. I am sorry you are dealing with this. My twocents: yes, do not let fear of your son stop you from doing what is right by both of you. And, a restraining order sounds like a good idea to me. My 33yo son could/can be very hateful & mean. He has never threatened my husband and me physically, but wow, has he smeared us every way he can. (He also has a felony for terroristic threatening an ex girlfriend). He also abused Adderal, as well as spice, alcohol (and who knows what else). I remember a court-appointed atty telling us he qualified for a dual-diagnosis treatment program. Head-in-the-sand me was clueless as to what the "other" diagnosis could be. Her answer: substance abuse. Well, well....of course. That got one of my feet out of LaLa Land. Though, it took another few years to make me stumble out of that place. Keep close to the board. Posting and reading, as well as following advice - such as seeking support groups, doing something kind for YOU each and every day, etc. - will go a long way toward strengthening you. In a short amount of time, you will feel much less powerless than you do right now. Promise. Hugs, SS [/QUOTE]
