My 32 year old son has for the past 8 years caused me and my hubby endless heartbreak and anxiety, he is the most gorgeous looking guy and such a charmer .BUT he has bullimia and is a cocaine abuser , he has cost me thousands (not anymore since i realised i was enabeling him) He has used my credit cards, stolen money, threatened my hubby.
Every time we try to talk e becomes aggresive and it frightens us .He makes out its our fault and every one else’s. He had a great relationship for a year with his new girlfriend and moved in with her .we were so happy for him he was working hard and seemed happy and Normal.2 weeks ago he came back home after they split up. He has not been to work , going out at 6am in morning probably to party! He took my bank card and used it .That was the final straw .Do i call police or do i just ride out the storm again .
