[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663257, member: 18958"] I feel very strongly that you did the right thing. Personally, I would not have had the confidence to invite him back into the house. He in effect had threatened your life. I have known men go to prison for several years for less than that. Whatever talents and attributes your child may have, he has serious issues. I believe you may minimize them. Still, he is not taking responsibility, and putting it on you. That frightens me. Where is your security that he will not target you vengefully, or the house or the family? I do not understand how you take these statements by your son seriously. His behavior at the least is potentially felonious. In what universe must a potential victim discuss with his perpetrator, his actions to protect himself and to hold the perpetrator responsible? This is classic. He is trying in this instance and above to make you out as the offender. I find this frightening. I hope you do, too. I find this chilling. I think you may well be at risk. I fear your family may be at risk. I think you are minimizing your son's behaviors, and I fear you may not be aware of the pathology that underlies them. So what? Your son may be a danger to you and to your family. He seems to lack an understanding of the seriousness of his behaviors and his problems. He is not showing any motivation to take responsibility. He seems to not accept your rules or those of others. Terrorist threats and brandishing a knife and talking about honor killing is not venting. It is either psychopathology that could warrant emergency hospitalization as a danger to others, or potentially criminal behavior, or both. I think this may be more than an anger management problem. The exact right thing is happening. He is confined awaiting psychiatric evaluation. I would think long and hard about inviting your son back into the house. Based upon what you have written he is not showing the insight, responsibility, judgment or control that would give me the confidence to do so. I just googled K2/Spice and found these behaviors related to use: [LIST] [*]Threatening behavior and aggression [/LIST] A person can become so violently paranoid that he attacks other people around him. [LIST] [*]Threatening behavior and aggression [*]Terrible headaches [*]Inability to speak. [/LIST] A person can become so violently paranoid that he attacks other people around him.Think about what the tangible consequences would be if your son violently attacked you or a member of your family with a knife, perhaps killing somebody. These things happen. They are not abstract outcomes. They are real. Other people seem to be alarmed about your son's behavior, including the Juvenile Court which took seriously prior threats. The judge is taking seriously the current incident. Why not you? [/QUOTE]
