Thank you, Pas.
I do understand the wish for peace when a difficult child is in your house, trust me. I've been there. More than Julie, who had a good heart even under the influence, 36 was scary. I was divorced and he would use his great height difference to corner me and threaten me without words. He would stay locked in his room and I'd wonder what he was doing there, but I'd be too scared to tick him off and too happy he wasn't bothering me, but half expected t he police or even the FBI to knock on my door at any time. I had no idea w hat was going on there and still don't, but I did find out later on that he had memorized my ex's credit card numbers and was using some of them for porn. When he left we found extreme porn, some of it twisted, on his computer. Not your normal porn, trust me. Julie was petrified of him, but I didn't know that at the time.
It was a great relief and very peaceful once I made him leave the house so I get where you are coming from. I wondered about even asking this on this particular forum, because of the struggles we all have, but I trust you posters the very most and some have had PCs with their difficult children. Also, everyone here knows that my life with kids has been no picnic...I certainly am not trying to "brag" in any way.
