For domestic battery. I cut off his cell phone, which is on my account, after finding two bags of magic mushrooms in his bedside table drawer, which I flushed down the toilet. I am TERRIFIED by his drug involvement. He was here with a friend last night, both dressed in black; they parked their car immediately behind mine and the intent was clearly to intimidate. There had been a dispute over his use of my credit card, which I permitted but which he abused. I resolved to take action and do WHAT MY HUSBAND SAID, months ago, which was to cut off the phone, and did so early this morning. I had texted him last night that I was going to, and he came in early saying he would go to community service (he aslready has a misdemeanor and a traffic violation), and went to bed. I only got three hours sleep. He must have heard me on the phone. I went into his bedroom to retrieve the device and charger and he came at me like a maniac, physically menacing me, throwing things in my room, finally wrestling me down to get my own cell phone out of my pocket and smashing it. He threatened to throw me in the pool. There was more, let’s leave it at that. He tried to stop me from running out the door, but I finally got out yelling “help, somebody call the cops.” (Nobody even came out, this has been going on so long.) He had also smashed the home phones when I threatened to call 911. So HE did, saying he was going to get me Baker-Acted. So, all calm, cool and collected he called to report “my” bout of insanity–I stood outside on a neighbor’s front lawn so they couldn’t take me this time without hearing both sides, which they finally did, and they took him. They hung up on his father, concluding that “this has been going on for a long time, and you haven’t done anything. Have you filed for divorce?” (He continues to avoid my divorce proceedings even though he is completely detached from me and involved with several other women. But he still comes home to sleep here and use the bathroom.)
Finally, after I thought they were gone, I went to check the washer and realized there was still an officer outisde. My “friend” Joann, who has been responsible for some of my son’s care, was talking to him. (Her son, Colin, had come over right away. They live about 5 blocks away.) I reported to the police officer that she was the one who got Ian (and Colin) started smoking pot in the first place when they were just children, that’s what Ian told me, it hurts so much, and told her to take a hike. Her relationship with me started through my husband’s involving her in an investment scheme when he had some exra money, they were broke, her husband was having affairs. This woman has been a needle in my gut for three years since the eye injury, as my husband covered for her complicity in this event.
There are two long stories here, two big messes which may get cleared up after all. The other goes back to the restraining order my husband won against me in 2000.
On the officer’s advice I filed for an injunction against my son, and have a temporary restraining order in case he is released. There will be a hearing tomorrow morning.
I feel he is safe. Safe from drugs. At least for tonight.
My lawyer advised tough love–that he needs to move out and get a job. So long as I let him stay here I remain his facilitator. There is JUST NO MONEY, thank God. No money for drugs.
Please pray for us during this difficult time. I already had an appointment with my counselor scheduled for 6 today, so everything worked out okay.
Praise God. Husband still out of town. Quiet house. But I feel the Lord right here with me and am saying the Hail Mary as suggested. Keeping my mom and dad out of it, so I have no one to hold on to.
It will be a tough night and tomorrow will be a tough day and I may have critical decisions to make so please pray that I am guided as I do not have much information on matters like these after being “protected” for so much of my life. I trust in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the maternal lovingkindness of the sweet and clement Virgin Mary.
