[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 511753, member: 1233"] Tomorrow go to a domestic violence center and get them to help you. You are a victim of domestic violence and it doesn't matter that he is your son. Insist on pressing charges against him for the holes and for threatening to hit you. the Sheriff may not want to do anything if it is just you complaining, but the DV center puts a whole new spin on things and they should be able to get help and enough clout to get you a restraining order which means that your son will not be allowed within so many feet of you and of your younger kids. IF that is not enough, call childrens protective services an report that he is a threat to your younger children's safety and you need their help to protect your younger children. This will get help from them as he is an adult and the younger kds cannot be put into danger. By reporting it and trying to throw him out and getting help from the DV center you will be showing that you are doing all you can to keep the kids safe and they wll help you get him out. I know how hard this is on you because you love your son as much as your other kids, but clearly you can see that you are not helping him by enabling his drug use and behavior, so you are doing what is best for EVERYONE. Plus you will be showing your kids how to stand up for themselves and keep themselves safe - and that is an awesome thing! I have had to get help and get my son out because he was putting us in danger and battering ME and while our dv center hadn't helped a parent being abused by a child, they did help me anyway (this was almost 7 yrs ago), and recently I was speaking to my counselor when I ran into her in the store and she said they have gotten more parents with the same probelms that I had and have been able to help because I pushed them to help me. Just because the violence is directed at a parent from a child, rather than at a child from a parent, does NOT make it any less of a DV situation. Don't be afraid that they won't/can't help or will judge you - that isn't how it works and you are being a AWESOME parent by insisting he not be around to hurt you or the kids and that the kids see you protect them. I know it is hard and scary, but it IS for the best for all of you. [/QUOTE]
