Today's his 18th birthday and he is out of the house. He's living with some friends in a nearby apartment. He only has to buy his food. He has no job. I bought him some groceries and gave him $30 to start him off.

T has been getting tough with me on taking care of myself. He really wants me to get the protection order. I really don't want to get it because I won't be able to talk to him at all. We decided to have my son sign an agreement that he won't come on to my property without prior permission or harass me for money. If he breaks the agreement then I will go for the protection order.

We'll see what happens.
