[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751625, member: 23706"] Kay said heinous things to us. But wishing death on us, no. That would have gotten my attention. However, she did threaten to hurt people. I don't know why I put up with that. It came to fruition. One night after dinner at our house, my son said something that infuriated Kay. She developed the super strength of an enraged person, picked up a breakable heavy object and slammed it at my son's head. It missed by an inch and slammed into the wall. My son had cuts on his face. He went to ER but did not rat her out. Kay was never allowed into our home again. It started my having to face the fact that she can be dangerous. She could have killed him. Maybe she hoped to. She doesn't like Amy, but she loathes our son for speaking up against her. I never felt as hopeful that Kay would change after that and we started giving her less. I handled her calling me by my first name instead of Mom. I tolerated her cussing and using lewd sex talk. I tolerated her saying she hated us. We were used to it. But after she did that to our son, something changed inside me. It still took me a few years to be ready to detach. Sometimes it takes us a long time to actually be able to stop the extreme verbal abuse. Anyone who abuses us with violent words is capable of hurting us or our loved ones. I believe this. Violent words are serious. Kay showed us this when she did that to my son. Her words became actions. Every time somebody speaks, that person clues us in big time to who they are and what they may do. Most people are kind and safe. Our kids who bring us here mostly are not. We owe it to ourselves and our safe loved ones to take precautions. We must get our kids to deescalate in word and deed and thought or there could be a tragedy. This at least is how I feel. God bless all. [/QUOTE]
