[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 408542, member: 1157"] I understand all too well the term "ferocious presence." Oldest used to harrass me by telephone when she wanted something. Many times I'd just leave the phone off the hook. One time, after numerous calls at work, on my cell, and at home, I finally got so fed up I told her that if she didn't stop, I was calling the police and pressing charges against her for harrassment. She knew I meant it... and I did mean it... and she stopped. I used to tell myself that if she showed up on my doorstep in a rage as your difficult child did, I would also call the police.. but it luckily never came to that. I do think I could have stuck to it, had it happened, I was just so DONE with her at that point. It's not the answer for everyone, but it was for me at that particular time. She was not getting the message any other way. That's how, in fact, she finally left my home after I threw her out and she refused to leave... one night she flew into such a rage, I called the police, and they escorted her out. She didn't come back except to get her stuff, and I made sure I had a large male friend there when she did. [/QUOTE]
