[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 737935, member: 19832"] I echo the sentiments of the other responses. You should never feel unsafe, most particularly with a family member. You have taken difficult but necessary and important steps to protect yourself. I, too, have been afraid of my son and he has made threats against my husband, his stepdad. Though that was 10 years ago, he has never apologized, and I’ve never fully trusted him since. I totally get what you’re saying about looking at things from your son’s perspective. whenever I do, which was frequently in the past but less so now, I am easily more manipulated and guilted into helping him, and I think of him as a child rather than as an adult who is making bad choices and hurting others. When I find myself doing that, I say to myself that I must care for and protect myself, my husband, and my youngest child first. that you are having to deal with all this . [/QUOTE]
