[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 750748, member: 23706"] Al Anon is for any addiction. We just have Al Anon too where we live currently. One thing we learned in Al Anon is that we have no power to stop our loved ones from suicide or ODing. It happens in the parental house a lot. It was hard for us to accept that we couldn't prevent Kay from maybe killing herself, but we now know we have no ability to prevent Kay's death. I teared up when I typed those words. She threatens suicide. If your son blackmails you for calling the police on him even if he attacks you, he needs to live elsewhere with no key. Maybe a restraining order, not that he won't violate it. He is holding you hostage in your own place. We were bad enablers, but as soon as we felt Kay was a possible danger to us and to our other kids, who were still home, we planned to evict her. My husband and I looked for a place to purchase for Kay. We were afraid to let her be homeless for reasons similar to yours. Kay destroyed every bit of help we paid for. Our enabling didn't help her one bit. And we are broke. And Kay was never as dangerous to us as your son could be to you. This is very hard. I am very sorry. Wish I had magic words. [/QUOTE]
