[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 729964, member: 19522"] Hi Kypata and welcome to the forum. I am so sorry for your need to be here. What you are describing is abuse and it is [I]unacceptable[/I]. Your son is treating you like he owns you. You are his mother and deserve to be treated kindly and with respect. Hitting ones own mother is abusive and violent. My first concern is for your safety. Do you have anyone you can turn to for help? Have you talked with anyone about what is going on? Do you live in a remote area? Can you count on neighbors to help? The reason I ask is because protective orders are good as long as the police [I]can get to you quickly. [/I] Your son is 18, considered an adult and responsible for his behaviors. Hitting you even once is assault, hours at a time is absolutely horrible. Kypata, you have value and worth and should be treated as such. I am sorry you are going through this. It is terrible to fear our own adult children, I have experienced looming over and threatening body posture by my daughters, they have been verbally abusive. I don’t allow them to live with me. They are addicted to meth. It turns people and causes them to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do. I hope you are able to get some protection. Are there any family members you can turn to? Your son should not be living with you under these circumstances. This may sound crazy, but my first thought is for you to get to an abuse shelter. Especially if you don’t have family or someone who can help you. Abusive people often ramp things up if they know that their victim is standing up to them. I don’t mean to scare you, but what you have posted about how your son treats you sounds potentially more dangerous to me. Please be careful and know that you do not deserve to be treated this way. The weekends are a bit slow on CD. More will come along and offer support and advice. We are not experts, just folks who have been traveling a hard journey ourselves. Please know you are not alone. Be safe! (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
