[QUOTE="witzend, post: 603317, member: 99"] You're getting some excellent advice here. I think when our kids are older and acting out, we know deep down what it is that we have to do. It's not always the same for everyone, but with very few exceptions our kids have left our homes, one way or another. We have to give ourselves permission to do what is right for everyone. If your son is not acting out violently right now, it is a good time for you and your wife to explore possibilities for the two of you with your son's best interest in mind. When he acts out violently, whether against you or your property, you [I]must[/I] call 911. If he believes he can get away with violence with you, it will intensify, and he will assume he can act out violently with others and get away with it. If he harms someone else or their property they won't have to be as considerate of his mental health as you are. There are all kinds of ways for this to go bad. Do your best to keep yourselves strong and healthy. [/QUOTE]
