[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 709708, member: 18516"] These are tough days but you can get through them. Your son is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He's accusing you of being hateful to throw a mental with addiction and then he says he doesn't need treatment. His lashing out at you is very normal for an adult difficult child that has been cut off from mom and dad's help. It's very typical behavior that they will ramp things up, they are desperate. The comfort zone they have been living in is gone. I know how hard it is to call the police on your own child. Been there a few times. The article [USER=13542]@recoveringenabler[/USER] shared is really good. Print it out and read it over and over. Something else you might consider is making a list of the shelters, food pantry's and church's that your son can go to for help and give him the list. Also, you might want to write down sayings that you can arm yourself with when your son goes on a rant. 1. Son, you're a grown man and need to take responsibility for yourself. 2. I'm sorry you feel that way, I hope things work out for you. 3. Here is a list of places you can ask for help. Your home is place you should feel safe, a place you go to for quiet and rest. Do whatever you have to in order for that to happen. I agree with [USER=18958]@Copabanana[/USER], you may have to get a restraining order. I know this is hard, I know the feelings you are having. I've been there. We have all been there. You are not alone. Sending you positive energy and lots of ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
