[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 728747, member: 18516"] How are you doing today? Did you decide to press charges? Of course I'm pointing out the obvious, your son has no respect for you, your husband or your home. Your son's thinking is warped in that in his mind YOUR home is his home. I remember when my son was still living under our roof and I would go through his room looking for drugs or drug paraphernalia and he would come in screaming at me to get the &*^% out of his room. I would remind him that it was not HIS room, it was my room in MY house and he only got to use it. I too went through times where my son would run away from home then while husband and I were at work he would break into the house, cut screens, broken windows, then would ransack the house looking for money. I understand that by pressing charges it would be a felony for him but that should not be your concern. If you have not done so already, I would make it very clear to your son that when he gets out of jail that he is not to come to your home. You could tell him something like (when you are released from jail you will need to find a place to stay. You are 20 years old now and need to be out on your own. We love you and want the best for you but you cannot stay in our home.) Also make this clear to your local police department that he is not welcome in your home. Be very careful here. Your son may say something like "I need to come over to get some of my stuff" If you allow him to come in, he may just stay and not leave. If he wants his stuff tell him you will box it up for him and you will bring it to him. Find a common place you can meet. I'm so sorry you had to go through that ugliness. ((HUGS)) to you................. [/QUOTE]
