[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 612330"] Are you in the US? Can you get to a Family Anonymous Meeting? There, you can get some support from other parents who have been through this. Also, if and when your son should abuse you again, immediately call the police. You might have to do it quietly so he doesn't do more of the same...but simply get to a quiet place and make the call asap!!!!! Go into the bathroom, go to the neighbors home, make an excuse and go to the drug store...but immediately make the call! This has got to stop PRONTO and he has to leave your home ASAP. You have done all you can. If at all possible, if you haven't done so already, get yourself to a therapist and consider at least a short time of marital therapy to help you and your husband get on the same page and to figure out your next steps. Your health and safety comes first. He is 32, way tooooo old to be coddled and again, you have tried and tried again to help him. Please read any literature you can find regarding "detaching." And please read a recent post here on this forum by Scott regarding what might happen if you don't detach. Stay strong. This is hard hard hard. BUT, you actually are not doing your adult son any favors by this excessive help/enabling and you are clearly unhappy and likely hurting your health. Be strong. [/QUOTE]
