[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 305776"] Not sure about the legalities....I am learning more about this topic. Please re-read Star's post and the others. I can tell you though...first and foremost...what I know for sure. If your son does this to you, do NOT hesitate to call the police immediately. Do not hesitate. It is hard, 'cause he is your son. This is understandable. However, you need to draw the line on this hard and true. You need to protect yourself and you need to send a very clear cut message to him that if he physically hurts you, you will call the police immediately and the consequences are ON HIM. Is your son BiPolar (BP)? He needs to be on medication and under the care of a therapist. This is an important concern. This needs to be addressed. Please make your safety a priority....look into domestic violence shelters as well as other advice. Then, as soon as your safety is secure, see what you can determine about making sure your son is getting proper medication and therapy. However, remember...HE has to make the decision to take his medications and go to therapy. You can "lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." As a mom, you will want to provide the proper health opportunities...keep on making it available....but do NOT overly concern yourself if he makes a poor choice here. Protect yourself...do what is right...do your best...it is all you can do. I am so sorry for your concerns...this is a lot to take in. Please make sure you take extremely good care of YOURSELF physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. [/QUOTE]
