[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 659842, member: 13542"] I'm so sorry SS. Seems you were right about his recent communication with you. Boy, he's good at this, isn't he? If it were me SS, I might attempt heading him off at the pass.....[U]before [/U]he shows up at your door. You might consider texting him a message like this, "We will not tolerate this behavior any longer. If we see you anywhere near our property, the police will be called. We will not help you in any way, shape or form, no money, no gift cards, no motels and absolutely no time spent in our home. You have burned all of your bridges here, there is no reason to come here. Please refrain from texting or calling us. We are taking care of ourselves now. We suggest you do the same. We love you and wish you well." You saying, "we won't go through this again" is likely not the boundary your troubled son understands.......he is likely to override that statement to get what HE wants which means he is likely to show up at your door. Don't hesitate to call the police. He is pulling out all the stops now SS, be prepared. He thinks he has no where else to go...... Geez SS, I'm so sorry, so so sorry. Sending you a big heartfelt hug. I so know how you feel right now.......and we're all here with you. [/QUOTE]
