[QUOTE="Andy, post: 167334, member: 5096"] Notice, I stated that calling the police would not be a light decision. I don't think AOG would call them at the drop of the hat but I do think this needs to be a tool for [U]her[/U] safety. AOG, you need to decide how much abuse you are willing to take. If your boys do become physical, what is to stop them from placing you in the hospital and then what will happen to them? I want you to be safe. I would think the police would help in keeping family members safe in a rage. Check the laws in your state/county/city, it may be that difficult child can not be arrested if you do not press charges. Maybe talking to someone in the police department to see what the procedure is in your town. Is there a mental health assessment within that procedure? Would they honor your request for an ER visit to evaluate current mental health issues? AOG, what happens when difficult child gets violent? Do you look at a medication change again? Is it getting worse? I have a feeling that for now you are feeling comfortable about your own safety, but if you start fearing for your own safety, I would decide how much you are willing to take. It is good that you are getting input on both sides so that you can think about what you really want to do. My vote is to make sure you stay safe. Only you know when your safety is truly in question. As long as you and both boys are safe, continue as you are. [/QUOTE]
