[QUOTE="peg2, post: 398577, member: 2133"] Hi, I too have been where you are, except I never got to the eviction stage. My son(19 now) was in and out of group homes since age 12 and when he turned 18, I decided to give him a chance, as he was not an adult other than legally. Wouldn't do anything!!!! No work, no school, hang out with friends all day. That was bad enough, but the text messages and intense phone calls(over 50 in one day) was the last straw for me. I had to get a restraining order(February 2010). The disrespect was domesctic violence, nothing physical, but not acceptable. He was out of control and the text messages got me the RO. He would not leave me alone, text after text after text, it was not normal. I had given him an opportuinty to get help, but wouldn't do it. Was with friends, but kicked out in September, homeless, picked up by police,said he would kill himself, so hospitilized for 3 days, in shelter for a week, hated it and then homeless again. My oldest son(25) took him in because no one else could. Still no treatment, and giving him somewhat of what he gave me, but no DV. Got a seasonal job, license and car but I'm not sure he is paying my oldest son much money. Still threatens to pack up and be homelss(and things are ok), so that is the untreatred bi-polar talking. Anyway, I am devastated and I have no answers as to how to get through it. He is my youngest child and I love him, but you can not be mistreated and it WILL NOT STOP unless you do something drastic. No one deserves to be abused, in any form, so you must give him the noitce and see what happens. If he gets violent, then call police. I am depressed a lot but in therapy and might ask him if he wants to join me this month. The holidays were hard but I do not regret my decision. Still, I am sick over it and can not really live my life like I should. It is so sad but this is what I have been dealt, so I must deal with it. Good luck and remember, you can not be abused, you don't deserve it. [/QUOTE]
