[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 282632, member: 3388"] DaisyFace, I think Steely has a good point. It is possible that she needs her medications adjusted. From personal experience, until difficult child 1 was on the proper medications, nothing was going to stop him from creating constant chaos. I also think Susie has given you some great advice. My oldest difficult child, difficult child 1, turned 18 a couple of months ago. husband and I knew that he couldn't live at home once he was legally an adult. It's a long story, but he is moving out soon. husband and I will still keep an eye on him, provide health insurance for him, and support as needed. However, we know that we just can't live with the constant level of stress and chaos that difficult child 1 enjoys creating, especially since legally there is nothing we can do about it any longer. We believe this solution is in the best interests of everyone in our family. (There are also other reasons why we believe it is necessary for him to move out, but I won't go into them here.) I think you did the right thing by going to the Sheriff's office. You should not have to live in fear of a potentially violent difficult child. Your difficult child needs to know that violence under any circumstances will not be tolerated. I'm so sorry you have to live like you're living. During the darkest times with difficult child 1, I couldn't imagine that things would ever improve. However, they did. (He is going to a local junior college beginning in Sept.) And, even though you probably can't see the light at the end of the tunnel now, it is there... You will get through this... Sending lots of hugs your way... WFEN [/QUOTE]
