[QUOTE="mcb1964, post: 699396, member: 20787"] I cried on all three court visits to file a restraining order against our oldest son. We still cry thinking about him out there homeless, mentally ill, and on drugs. We wait for the doorbell to ring letting us know that our son is either dead or has killed someone. We feel bad like you do. It's because it's not part of the parenting contract we enter into. They're not supposed to violate our houses, persons, trust, etc and we're not supposed to kick them out or press charges against them. It goes against every single parenting urge we have that says we need to protect them from all the bad in the world. Having said that, we do what we have to in order to 1. not enable horrible behavior and 2. keep our own sanity. I'm sorry and I empathize. It's hard. [/QUOTE]
