[QUOTE="batzy1, post: 539797, member: 14888"] hello JJJ, Thanks for all the tips and all of that has been done already as I prepare myself for his arrival. My husband keeps telling me that I'm being negative and expecting the worse because I do this stuff, it just goes to show that he doesn't see his son as the threat that he is. It just makes me keep my guard up even more. There was one point last summer where I couldn't take it anymore and was driving to a hotel to get myself, my son, and our dogs a room and my husband called and begged me not to leave, that is when he finally started getting on board with handling the difficult child 1. I don't have any family close enough but I do have a couple friends that I can retreat to if I need to. Our sons room is right next to ours, while the difficult child 1's room is farther down the hall and his room locks on the outside. I also have baby monitor and the dogs are great, they do not like him one bit and if they hear him get out of bed they go nuts, so i have an alarm system. I know where difficult child 1 is at all times, if he tries to sneak off, the dogs follow and bark at him, I think that is a big reason he tries to hurt them, because he knows they are the reason he can't get away with stuff.
