[B]I went to court today to start a Restration order on my 28yr. old Son, It was something i didn't want to do, I was up crying all night, I didn't even take a shower,...LOL Thants how down i felt, I KNOW it HAD to be done, hes been 'playing' with my husb& I since 15-16yrs old, using us laughing AT US, the who bit. First it was the Pot, I found ut an Disabled Man down the street started many of the kids on Pot so he could sell his Gov. Alloment to them,plus what he could buy, His Son was the same age as most of the boys in the area, & slightley Retarted, But 'Don' thought it was ok for his son to smoke & have a few beers with him. The Beer showed up when my son was almost 21 or thats when we saw the beer, we sent 'Grreg' my son to the Salvation Army program, & week by week his other friends started trickling in. What happened was 'Don' all these kids conction dies,so the Caption of the S.Army asked me why so many boys from my area were showing up for the program...well their 'conction died' My Son continued to drink,& do pot,he would be so bad he would pee his pants,& mess them. We layed down laws,like the doors are locked at 12a.m., you sleep outside or whever, threatened a 'Restration Order', but we never went through with any of it. Then he started on the Meth, which made him mean, he never hit,pushed or held a weapon up to us. On Mon. afternoon he started drinking early in the day,we told him to leave,he laughted, so we left him alone, about 4p.m. he woke, swinking a bat, hitting,his sister & I, I grapped a long flashlight, for protection,he did all he could to get it out of my hand, hurting my long time back problem, my daug. got him good with the bat & took off for the phone, once he heard ploice, he jumped out his window. I fell bad,sqad or I don't know,cause as a child I was homeless, and he has no wear to go,all his friends are gone, but I can't live like this. I'am asking for help & support, that this is the think to do, my husb. has Cancer,so he had to retire, so my 'punk' of a son ..who thinks were all crazy thought he would take over the house. Anyone have any advice, I know we will see him around town, dirty & skinnier. He does work at the S. Army 3 days a wk., not alot of money, the mng. who was their liked my son & was a man who I went to H.School with in the Chicago area, but he moved to San Diego. I think alot of my feelings are coming from being homeless as at 12-13 in the 'Corvair' in the Chicago winters, that wasn't fair. But my Son doesn't want help, thnks there is nothing wrong & this is all he knows, he has no other instrest except to be 'high', he doesn't remember how he hit me with the flaslight.or pushed my Husb. after a 10 hr. Cancer surgey, when he had no strenght to fight back. Any Advice? Hasd anyone been throught something like this, that can be my 'Buddy'?. E-mail me any time. Love, Pegi...yellmouth@adelphia.net
