[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 377496"] Oh dear it sounds like an awful situation and as you said totally out of hand. I assume it was a typo when you said "I started throwing things" and you meant he started throwing things? So where is your wife in all this? Are you and she on the same page? If not that is the first step to somehow have you and your wife get on the same page. If it means getting some counseling to do so, do it. It sounds like you are at the pointn where you want to stop protecting and enabling him. I think one way to think about it is are you really protecting him if he is learning that he can treat you like this, that he can break every rule in your book and get away with it. This is not a life lesson you want to learn because in fact in life, out there it is not true. As far as steps you can take. I think the first one is to call his PO, tell him what is REALLY going on. How bad it really is. The courts, as screwed up as they can be, do have some power. Your son needs to learn that he will not get away with this behavior in your home. You and your wife don't deserve this. It is really hard and can be heartbreaking. There are a lot of us on this board who have been through this or are going through it and so we do understand.
