[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 635451, member: 18284"] GM -- Thanks. Yes, our difficult child is constantly at risk. He does NOT tend to learn. This is not even remotely his first brush with violence. When he was 18 he was involved in a drug-infused game of Russian Roulette. The gun handler pointed the gun at difficult child's forehead and pulled the trigger. No bullet. Then he pointed it at the second guy's head and pulled the trigger. No bullet. Lastly, he pointed the gun at his own neck and pulled the trigger while laughing. Bullet. He died in the spot, 5 ft away from our difficult child. That is the day I realized we could lose our difficult child any day. As you can see, difficult child gravitates back toward those settings. For the life of me, I cannot get him to change his mind for long. However, HE may not change his actions, but I can. I choose to change my actions today on heeding my own inner warnings. I should've known better. I knew it was a mistake. However, I am VERY THANKFUL that God spared difficult child and me last week. And, honestly, I probably only know the tip of the iceberg for how many times difficult child has had brushes with violence. So, I reiterate...... I am VERY thankful for every good day we have him. And I'm also pretty darned thankful I wasn't there to witness that murder committed yesterday! [/QUOTE]
