[QUOTE="littlefoot, post: 119920, member: 4568"] Thanks for responding. I am almost in tears when I read some of the posts because I honestly thought I was alone in this fight and almost going crazy. The judge, probation officer and GAL finally saw what I was going thru at home when my son was in court and they saw how he reacted to not getting his way. Each time they had to have 2 to 3 guards remove him. I told them thats why I call the police 2 times a week - because he doesn't know how to act when he gets an answer he doesn't like. Also as with me he always promised I'm sorry it will never happen again. The last time he said it to the judge again as the judge was walking out and the judge stopped and turned around and the look on the judges face was as if to say "oops, I just made a mistake letting him go". But this is what I deal with every day. Promises that change back and forth within minutes. I not only feel crazed but suckered. I know my son can't help it, and I try patience and understanding of the disease, but I have to say no to his behaviors and thats where the battle begins. Whats funny is I work at a residential behavior center with schizos and bipolars but they are medicated, behavior planned and I have backup if they lose control. At home its only me. I have been at home stuck in a spot for 2 to 3 hours while he tries to convince me of his point or downgrading me as a mother and telling me everything that is wrong with me. I wouldn't mean it to go that long, I just thought any moment he would wind down and stop. Before I know it, it would be 2 hours later. Thats when I would have to call the police just so he would run away and leave me alone. They got to know the routine after awhile. [/QUOTE]
