[QUOTE="klmno, post: 228329, member: 3699"] Thanks everyone!! It's amazing how comforting it can be just to know that others understand and see similar things in their kids sometimes. ML- I come from an extremely dysfunctional family. I try to keep check on things to "break that chain" and minimize dysfunctional tendencies that might be inadvertently "taught" or passed down to difficult child. But, I'm sure some are slipping by me!! I'm starting with a therapist for myself to review some of these things. This kind of thing seems like it was easier when the issue was an abusive husband (not difficult child's father- that was years before difficult child was born). Anyway, when it's an abusive husband it's hard, but the wife just has to worry about getting herself and kids (if there are any) out of the picture. (I've been in that situation-no kids- but I know there's more to it than that- I'm not trying to make light of it.) But When it's your kid starting violent threats (by actions) and losing his temper, I feel like I have to spend some time thinking about a plan to protect myself, but I also have to spend some time finding out and pursuing the best parental decisions for my son who is doing these things. Thank you for your kind words and support about that. I appreciate the other comments to- there is some food for thought here!! [/QUOTE]
