[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 629678, member: 13542"] I believe you made the right decision. This is a slippery slope for all of us and usually the most difficult thing any of us will ever do. Your son has all the traits of someone with a conduct disorder, who is using drugs, has a failure to launch, is entitled and enabled, or all of the above. Whatever the reasons, he is being abusive and disrespectful of you, in your own home while you provide for him........if you have been putting up with this behavior for years, then this does not appear to be an overreaction. The hitting his sister is unacceptable behavior and the fact that he is capable of that is scary. As Pasajes mentioned, it will be necessary now for YOU to seek help so you can stay the course and find some solace in your decision. Families anonymous, any of the 12 step groups, private therapy, a support group, please find some avenue of support for [U][I]you[/I][/U] as soon as possible. You may want to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here. it is helpful to many of us. You may also want to read [U]Codepenedent no more[/U] by Melodie Beattie, it is also very helpful. Keep posting, it helps. You're not alone, we all know how you feel. We all know the heartache and the fear involved. Stay the course. [/QUOTE]
