[QUOTE="witzend, post: 559199, member: 99"] I was "lucky", in that he was arrested for punching my husband, his dad. Of course, he was only 16 years old, but we stood our ground that we were frightened for our safety should he return. It was the beginning of a very long road of severing ties for him and for us. I had been scared to death of him for years, and he had no ability to appear endearing. He was [I]very[/I] adept at garnering sympathy from strangers, so he first was able to get into your programs, and once he was an adult, he always had someplace to stay and something to eat. Once he got in their door they couldn't get him out! With the benefit of hindsight, I would recommend that you ask yourself if what you're doing with your difficult child is what you would do for someone who wasn't your son. If you fear for your safety, you must call the appropriate authorities. Blood relation does not protect anyone from harm. [/QUOTE]
