[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 186846, member: 3907"] Libby, First off, {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you. Sorry that you're having to live through this. It's not easy. MWM and Bran155 have given you great advice. You have every right to have peace in your home, to not walk on eggshells, and not to have to deal with violence. If you are in a position to kick him out, change the locks. If you can afford one, install an alarm system. If not, then there are window locks you can install to give you a degree of protection. I also agree that getting a restraining order on your difficult child is in order. That gives you a track record with law enforcement that there has already been trouble, so if you have to call them in they will take it seriously and react quickly. A lot of us have lived through similar episodes. For my part, getting my difficult child out of the house and into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was the best decision I've ever made. Good for him in that he has the structure and supervision he needs, good for the rest of us in terms of our overall health and happiness. You've found a wonderful place here, full of support. Glad you found us, but sorry that you had to. Trinity [/QUOTE]
