[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 753249, member: 23405"] Welcome Jane, I would agree with much of what Busy related. Good advice. Specifically with logging information down daily to show the history of things said and done. The only other thing I may add (because not quite the same scenario as you but with my own son as an adult) is that at some point it's possible he may start to create false lies about "you". Create false stories that could hurt your reputation. I love my adult son dearly (and we have had a lot of issues with him from 15-26 yrs. old) but he created some stories, I feel due to his own mental ill health, drug addiction etc. that wreaked havoc with our lives. We were put out of our own home for 3 months while our son lived in a house that we were paying the mortgage on. We faced charges and it was a nightmare. This was 3 yrs. ago and my life and husband's at the time, hung in the wind waiting to see if the Courts would see the story for what it was. Luckily, they did. I will not to this day allow my son in my home. It is heart-breaking because he's living in his car. I have to protect myself, my job and my reputation. Just another piece to think about. You don't know what's going on his mind. If your husband doesn't see this as big of a deal as you do could it be possible if something like this happened that he would not "back" you and rather believe what his son says? I would hate to have to find out. Keep posting. Others will have more helpful suggestions. [/QUOTE]
