[QUOTE="DDD, post: 235216, member: 35"] There are not many family issues that I feel uncomfortable addressing after almost fifty years of ongoing parenting. Learner...your post makes me fearful for your safety. Over the years I have adapted to coping with abnormal behaviors as a necessity in family survival BUT I think you may be focusing on "coping" when there is valid reason to be concerned about "survival". Your question had to do with suggestions. Here are the only suggestions I can think of for you. Sign up with one of the medical alert companies that specialize in emergency response for the ill and elderly. I think one of them is called Life Alert. You can wear a neclace or a braclet with an emergency button that triggers a central calling system to contact you (not a family member) and then sends 911 responders. If you kept that necklace on at all times...perhaps you would have an element of safety. Please.....call the local Women's Shelter or Safety Shelter for abused spouses. You can speak anonymously to them. Explain that you have been abused by an unstable son who continues to live with you. Ask them for a referral to [B]an expert in abuse prevention. Seek [/B]counsel from people who deal with mental health issues on a daily basis. I understand you love your son. I understand you hope that he has learned hs lesson. I understand that a Mother's heart can be broken and that a Mom still feels the need to protect their child. [B]BUT[/B] when it comes to violent acts....the Mother has to protect herself and her other family members first, and then work to help her dysfunctional child. Please find the right people to talk to about this. We all care and want to support you but in addition to coming to the CD family you really, really [B]need[/B] to seek professional help for you. Many hugs and prayers coming your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
