[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 201474, member: 3626"] There's a simple solution -- she threatens you, you call the police. It is called assault (threat of physical harm; fear of that potential harm) and you can press charges. Once I discovered my daughter could in fact control her violence, I let her know the next time she became violent in the home, I would (and did) call the police. They usually won't do anything the first time or two but give her a lecture, but if it continues, they will haul her in. I know this isn't what you want but you have a right to not be fearful. She does not have a right to behave the way she is. Is there ever a time when she is home that she is civil and maybe open to a discussion? If so, that might be the time to lay out the basic house rules and the consequences of breaking those rules up to and including pressing charges against her. Just be sure you can and will follow through on any consequences you say will happen. I'm sorry you're going through all of this. Believe it or not, she may actually grow up one day and regret her present behavior. Some of our kids actually become decent human beings that we can once again love. [/QUOTE]
