05-31-2012 -- There was other problems as well. My son had a temper. I had twice had to call the law on him for fear of my own life. Most of the time he was very sweet. Looking back now I am thinking these were times he was on drugs. In Feb. he was in a rage. The wife called us and screamed. I told husband we needed to go now. When we got to the house she was locked in the bathroom with her two older daughters. Son had knocked her veneer off her tooth. Had grabbed her around the neck. We tried to get him to leave, he wouldn't go. He wouldn't let us get the baby. Finally when he realized the cops were on the way husband got him out of the house. The cops came interviewed the wife, the older kids and me. They left and son returned. Again tried to get him to leave. We took the wife and the kids to a motel ad left them there. A few hours later cops showed up at my home and wanted to know where she was. They went to interview her again and went back to son's house and arrested him. 8 charges. Wife went to  doctor the next day and got more meds to abuse. He had a protective order placed on him, not to be around the wife or kids. He stayed with us a week or so and then she begged him to come back. I kept telling him he was risking so much for something so little. Didn't do any good. He would find no logic in that. They thought they were smarter than the law, more clever. Exempt from the law. DFACS was already involved. Oh Lord if I had the foresight I now have in hindsight I maybe could have done something. The drug use became worse.
Some more calls from debt collectors. I gave one of them the widow's phone number.
