I hope you dont think I meant literally 'barking' like a dog. just meant he gets loud and angry.
I guess I am not that frightened. we have had some terrible arguments and he has never hurt me, but did grab my arms once. that is bad, yes. I don't fool my self thinking it could not happen, but will be careful not to argue, and will call in reinforcements the moment he begins to get angry and nasty.
I am saving my SIL for when needed.
He does not have a car to live in. He is my son, mean or not, and i cannot sleep if I think he is on the street with all the heroin addicts in my town. Its not that bad that I have to throw him out, yet. it may have to happen someday, I know. but I am hoping to get him some help, and then he is on his own.. I can't make him be a better person or successful, or healthy. I am just hoping that somewhere inside his self, he wants a better life. I may be wrong but I think that he does. and is tired of things. He mentally needs help.
He hasn't said a word since I got home this evening. peaceful.
hugs
