HH I understand maybe not wanting to make any more legal trouble for your difficult child. I do not understand however, why you are putting up with his defiant behaviors. Is it a condition of his parole that he live with you? If not and if you cannot bring yurself to report him to the PO then just tell him to leave. Out on his own he will trip up and get caught soon enough and maybe hit his bottom. You are aware. you are informed. Now you need to find the strength to do what you have to do. You are absolutely correct when you say that not only your easy child but you and your husband also do not have to live in this chaos and fear.((((HUGS)))) I know this isn't easy for you but it does sound like it is time for you to don your armor once again. -RM
