[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 737526, member: 13303"] Hi BB, I am very sorry to hear of your situation. I think your husband is right to file for a restraining order and I totally support your decision to put him out. It's good though that your son was able to manage in college even if for a brief time and get some credits along with excellent grades. That might bode well for his future if he is able to get and stay clean. My DS sounds very similar to your son, intelligent but entitled and willing to use violence to get his way. In our case I thank God we are not in contact with him at the present time; he has chosen estrangement from us in order to stay enmeshed with, and enabled by, his codependent doormat of a father. Unfortunately in my case there is no such thing as normal with either of my stepsons regularly in the picture, they are toxic people with hearts full of hate for us on top of their mental illnesses. Sometimes the best route is loving from a safe distance until hopefully, things change. In your son's case, hopefully he will eventually get off drugs. It seems like those children whose primary issues are drug related often improve dramatically once they are clean. Best of luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
