[QUOTE="Origami, post: 633738, member: 18099"] The main reason my older son is here is because of the house arrest. He literally can't go anywhere else without permission from the sheriff's department, which isn't that easy to get. He's been out of the apartment only four times since April and those were for court dates. He's not buying heroin since he has no way to get outside. I know he could technically get someone to bring it to him, but he has no money and I'm sure he hasn't been using since the arrest. His wife (they were supposedly getting a divorce) moved in when her sister moved because she has only a part-time job and can't afford rent until she finds something better. She's been applying for other jobs. Anyway, I'm not worried about there being heroin here at the moment anyway (might be a different story when he gets off house arrest), but the weed bothers me. The fighting bothers me. The missing items bother me. The lack of privacy bothers me. MidwestMom, yes, he does treat me respectfully, will do whatever chores I ask and generally keeps his area tidy. He takes good care of the kids. That's where I have a disconnect between the fact that he's generally a likeable person who I don't know if I can trust or not. He has a history of being a very good liar, but charming nevertheless. You're right, I could probably benefit from some therapy or group meetings to give me some perspective. And no, I hadn't posted before. Thanks for your concern and advice. I'll probably post more since I think this relatively calm time won't last too long. [/QUOTE]
