[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 634620, member: 17269"] this is really good advice. Guide me, I haven't had to do that, yet, and my difficult child has never threatened me. I do think he is crazy, though, and might let crazy or dangerous people in the house, and I think when he is manic he can behave quite irrationally. I lock my bedroom door if I sleep when he is in the house...well actually we will put that in past tense, because he won't be in the house again any time soon. It was a dark period when I realized that I was afraid that I might wake up and find him, or one of his friends, standing over the bed. So I do understand your fear. You are in good company here. My SO's ex hit him and tried to run him over with a car, and also threatened to break his windows and to use her car as a battering ram to trash his house. He got a protection from abuse order against her. When they went to court, even though she was clearly standing in on the defendents side and he was clearly on the plaintive side, the judge started with a "sir do you understand that you may not own a gun..."etc, the instructions to the defendent (she plea bargained yes to the PFA...he wanted three years and settled for one). It was pretty shocking, really. Anyway, yeah, as long as there are guns, weapons, cars, and stuff that equalizes strength, abuse will go both ways. Echo (PS I am just a nice girl who grew up in Northern Jersey. I never had a police officer in my house until difficult child and then SO and his deranged ex came along. Now the neighborhood beat cops (I LIVE IN A BIG CITY< MIND YOU!!) know my house, my son, and my name. Damn. Sometimes I miss those days of innocence!) [/QUOTE]
