I always have to go between him and other family members to keep the peace. There are 6 of us in the house. Ages, 10,16,21, 24, 48,and myself 49. the 10 and 21 year olds are special needs and I have suffered with depression most of my life due to sexual, mental, and physical abuse as a child/teenager.

Hi EaRaM5010....Possibly you could get some help with handling the 10 and 21 year old's....You can check and see if there are any organizations that do volunteer work along this line...I am sure that it's a big responsibility....Take care...
