[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487332, member: 1550"] Chaos...if he goes to ex's house, even for visits, he is going to be around other kids. It sounds to me like he meant to cut you because he was angry. Since you have easy child's you realize how over the top this is...and dangerous. Ex has a two year old that he could seriously hurt if she angered him. They need to know what Carson did if they are planning to bring him into their house. in my opinion it's a moral obligation with nothing to do with whether or not ex and wife are jerks (they seem to be). It's really in my opinion about the safety of the other children he'd be living with. I think that violence has to be dealt with seriously, whether it is against oneself or somebody else. My daughter was sixteen and taking Prozac and it amped up her problems. She got hysterical and pulled a knife on herself, putting it to her neck. I didn't bat an eye, but went for the phone, because I knew she could kill herself that way, although most of me didn't think she would do it. I was relieved to have her in the hospital getting treatment. She never did anything like that before or after. You are correct that if you don't tell ex and wife and Carson hurts one of the other kids, it will be big trouble. I urge you to tell him. If he doesn't want Carson to live with him after that, well, you are probably a better place for him anyway. He is in no mental shape to change homes and schools and you don't have younger kids. I'm not going to pretend that this will be easy, but in my opinion it's something that is the morally correct thing to do. I hope you decide to tell them. Good luck, whatever you choose to do.
