[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 277804, member: 6546"] Sharon-- These situations are SO hard.... This is the sort of thing that I have been questioning myself. It's very easy for an outsider to say [I]'O that's not right! difficult child can't do that. You should call 911[/I]!"....but I find that it's usually hard to see the "line". When has the behavior officially crossed the 'line'...? Does there have to be blood? Bruises? Broken glass? What if difficult child is only [I]threatening[/I] to hurt someone? Aren't they always being disagreeable at some level? Who is to say which time they will actually get angry enough to cause injury? And if you call too early, the police are likely not to take you seriously and then what happens? difficult child [I]wins[/I]. Ha! Ha! difficult child is right and you are wrong! And we, as parents, cannot risk [I]that[/I] can of worms..... But if you call [I]too late[/I]...... It's impossible!!!! Sending (((((hugs)))) and support and a wish for a crystal ball so that you will always know the right thing to do. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
