[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 273266, member: 3493"] From the time I was 12 until I was 19 and moved out of the house, I had a lock on my bedroom door to protect me from my younger sister. It was a chain lock on the inside that I could keep closed. I also had a deadbolt outside my door so that she could not get into my room when I was not in it. When she was particularly bad I would also put a chain with a combination lock on my inside door. I had a separate phone line as well since there were no cell phones in the '70's. I also kept a very large kitchen knife on the night stand on the opposite side of where my sister would be if she ever got into my room. Needless to say, my sister and I have NO relationship at this point in time and never will. She does not even know the names or birthdates of my children. I have not seen her since 1994 and do not care if I ever do so again. Should my parents have put her out of the house? Maybe but she was only 10 when it started. I did spend a lot of time at my grandma's, especially when I had tests or important things in school but my schizophrenic aunt lived with my grandma and although she was alot calmer than my sister, she didn't like her routines being broken. How old is your easy child? How viable are the threats? Can you give her a panic button in addition to a lock on her room? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
