[QUOTE="JKF, post: 627864, member: 12470"] I'm sorry I didn't post much over the weekend. I needed some time to clear my head and come to terms with what's happening. It was beautiful here this weekend and my husband and I worked outside in the yard. He's building a new shed and I was gardening. I just love being out there. It brings me such peace. I also love spending that time with my husband. Anyway, difficult child will be back on Friday. He leaves Idaho today at 11:30 am. He texted me Sunday morning saying he needs a ride from the bus station in Newark to Morristown. I told him sorry but no. He needs to figure it all out himself. I gave him the numbers to social services and also the MHA and told him to call and make some kind of arrangements with them if he wants but that I will not be getting involved at all. I also told him that he is not to come to our house or the police will most definitely be called. That's it now. No more communication. I am still terrified of him showing up out of the blue because that's what difficult child does. He doesn't care. I have alerted all of my close neighbors and they will be on the lookout for him. I have made sure all windows and doors lock properly and that there are no easy ways in for him. My husband and I have been thinking about security cameras for some time but money has been tight so that will have to wait. It's more of a waiting game at this point and that's what scares me most. I just don't know what's going to happen or when. It's like my peaceful bubble is about to burst. I hate the feeling of being scared in my own home and every day surroundings. And as long as he's in close proximity to us, no matter what I do, that feeling will be there. MWM - this is exactly what I'm trying to do. Be in control. I answered that one text from him to let him know that, no, we will not help him and that if he shows up the police will be called. That's it. I said what needed to be said, and now I will be holding firm and making sure that my family is protected. I keep repeating this to myself. It's my mantra the last few days. Do not allow him the chance to destroy you. Every time I start to waiver I say this to myself and it keeps me going strong. My mother always used to say this when things were tough. I love this saying. It brings me peace every time I say the words. Thanks Echo - but money is so tight at the moment. We make enough to get by and even have some extras here and there but I couldn't never afford to hire security. If I could though I would in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I'm going to try my hardest Cedar! I will post more when I get home this evening. I am at work and things are nuts here. I just feel like I'm tugged in every direction between work and my family and difficult child. I really want to run away. [/QUOTE]
