[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 178447, member: 1514"] It does sound like anger but not hallucinations. People can have lots of anger because of things that happen to them in childhood. I still dont think this needs to escalate into a police matter. It can be handled as a family deal at this point. He just needs to know that you are the mom and arent going to let him go but so far. He may be testing you to see how far you will go, how afraid you are, how sick you really think he is. If you sit back and wring your hands, it just makes him feel more out of control. Kind of like if he had cancer and you suddenly threw out all the rules he might conclude he was dying. That would scare him to death. I would set firm rules and tell him he is not going to do certain things or his life will stop. Maybe read The defiant Child. I liked that much better than the explosive child. [/QUOTE]
