[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 629724, member: 15473"] I dont think you over reacted. You have a difficult child who is physically and verbally threatening you. On top of that he is bringing illegal drugs in you home and putting everyone there at risk. Obviously your youngest is a aware of his drug involvement and probably more knowledgeable about how bad it is than you. She probably knows he is selling and using and who all his friends are along with that. I don't think your daughter understands what your life is like right now. When my difficult child was so bad she went to her grands. They now know exactly what I was talking about all those times when difficult child was driving me nuts. There is nothing you can to do explain it and make it real for your daughter because the pain and anger are not describable to someone who hasn't lived through it. I would just tell her that until she has been in your shoes she shouldn't judge your decisions. I would also let her know exactly how much it hurts you that she doesn't trust you would only make this decision if the circumstances were bad. Not to be nosey but what does DAD do for a living? generically speaking? The reason I ask is that he doesnt seem concerned about the risk you are taking by allowing your son to continue living with you. Does he not realize the police could arrest you all for having drugs in the home? Does he not realize your 16yr old daughter is RIGHT to be placing a dresser in front of her door? Does he not realize that if he has or needs a security clearance for his job he could lose his job over this? Does he not realize that it isn't normal for a family to fear another member of the household? He seems concerned that difficult child may not be safe but difficult child doing drugs and dealing drugs has already made him a target. Drugged up people do stupid things. [/QUOTE]
