I agree, wait for your fiancé if that make you feel (or be) safer, but don't waste any time being nice.

I turn 46 in another month and a half.
Yes, this is smelling like some kind of scam to me too.Quoth morgana View PostOh, and is anyone else wondering about the "attack" by her husband?
Listen to Solumina on this one, Smiley. Not everything of yours (or what you're responsible for) can be moved. You'll be amazed at the damage that a kid can do.Quoth Solumina View PostDon't give them any time, it sounds like the kid will just fuck up your stuff out of spite if he is given the chance. Death threats are not something that can be written off as just a phase and mommy dearest needs to learn that her little boy's problems are real and will have real effects on his life as well as her's.
No good deed goes unpunished--I speak from experience here.I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Do bear in mind that it's not you responsible for his homelessness - it's him, and it's his mother who hasn't taught him that certain actions make people feel unsafe and not happy to live in the same house.

2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Write down a date, and rules : Out by noon on Oct 31 2010. All personal items must be removed by that date or discarded. yadda yadda. REnt of $1234345345 is due by EOB Oct 31 2010.
Take pics TODAY with datestamp of all the stuff you've got around, and how you have it setup. (also, the big ticket items if you can).
Call the cops this week and see if they're willing to send out an officer to help with the asshole moveout. (dunno what date it is, but ask if they can do it when you call).
good luck hon.

That's a point. Mum isn't going to provide the kid with the help needed to prevent this future. It may well take Social Services to do so. Or a police 'frightened straight' program.Quoth AriGriffin View PostThat kid needs help. Majorly bad. My oldest male cousin started acting that way when he was a teen. Not saying it will happen to that kid, but said cousin is now in jail for breaking and entering, larceny, kidnapping 1st degree of a minor, and murder second degree.Seshat's self-help guide:

Just what I was thinking. If he has escaped from an abusive situation, it's not a surprise that he's going to be exhibiting violent behaviour, both as a stress reaction and because he's never seen anything else modelled. (It can happen even if he knows it's not appropriate, just because he has no clue how to make something that is appropriate work.)Quoth dawnfire View PostWell we know who's this kid's role model is
Smiley: I really hope that you kicking them out is a wake-up call to the mom and she gets help for both of them. Continuing to let them stay with you isn't going to help anyone.

, you can find me on the calendar in October. I think I remember someone who told she or he were in the seventies, but I can't remember whom it was.
I was born in '51.
