[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706165, member: 1550"] What he did to you was violent and what he said was abusive. I would have called the police with no qualms at all. I have called the police simply because my daughter smoked pot and it wasn't legal yet. That I would never have tolerated. He'd not live in my house after that. I would have gotten a TRO to get him out if I had to. And I wouldn't feel bad about it. My kids all knew if they broke the law, the police would be contacted. He prevailed. He took his stuff after bumping you and verbally violating you and got off with no consequences. It's good that you didn't cave, but what did he lose by his hideous behavior? Nothing. You can't make him respect you or anyone, but he can shoulder his disrespect outside of your home. It is lose/lose to give him no accountability. He needs you to be strong and youneedto be strong or it will just ramp up. If you hAve younger kids it is best they see you won't tolerate this. My youngest daughter saw us being tough with older daughter. She won't even touch pot and is close to finishing her studies in college and joining the police academy. She loves her sister, who is now straight, but is nothing like she was. Nor is younger son. You do best living your values in my opinion. You don't want another child to follow his footsteps. I am sorry. Big hugs. [/QUOTE]
