[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 223224, member: 1233"] Hello and Welcome! I am glad you found us, but very sorry you need us, if you know what I mean. If/when you are physically threatened by your son you need to call 911. If your son has a diagnosis of a mental illness then tell the 911 operator you need police to take him to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation because he is a threat. The key words are a "threat to himself or others". Unless he is a threat to himself or to you there is little the police and hospital can do. Does he have a psychiatrist or therapist who can recommend a psychiatric hospital? Is there a number on the back of your insurance card with a Behavioral Health number? If there is that number - CALL IT. Tell them EVERYTHING that has been going on, and tell them that you need to have him admitted (or have the psychiatrist or therapist set it up if they can). I don't know how old he is, or what the family situation is, but this is VERY dangerous, esp to your younger child. Physical violence cannot be tolerated under any circumstance. I know that is easier said than done. been there done that. Now my oldest child lives with my parents. He simply could not make safe choices around us. But after almost 3 years we have a really GOOD relationship, so there is hope. Hugs [/QUOTE]
