[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 765233, member: 22840"] MandaC My son too has been very verbally aggressive and has frightened me with his mouth alone. I've been lucky he has never crossed to being physical with me. But I've heard of a couple of adult children doing just what your son did, and then doing worse later on. I feel very strongly, for you safety, that now is the time to never let him be in your physical presence without someone else there. When drinking, drugs or a severe mental state takes over someone then you are not dealing with who they were anymore. You are dealing with someone you have to protect yourself from. Please keep fighting the urge to try to deal with him as he was in the past. He might come back to being that person at some point but that's not who he is right now. It's all up to him on what he is going to do with himself. I know how confusing and heartbreaking it is to want to help him because you don't feel he can help himself in this situation. But if he's going to get help it won't be from your suggestion at this point. He only see's you as means to get what he wants to continue to do what he's doing. I think NewLife's suggestion to start a new thread is a very good one. I checked to see if I could do it for you but I don't have that ability. What you would do is to copy your post (highlight it, and select "ctrl" and "c" at the same time on your keyboard) then go to the top of this page and click on "Forums" on the left side of the screen, after that click on "Parent Emeritus" in the list of forums, and then click on "Post Thread" on the right towards the top of the screen. After that fill in a subject line and in the blank area where you can write paste your response here (select "ctrl" and "c" at the same time on your keyboard). If you want to do this and are having trouble send me a message in our private conversation from before. Stay safe ~ Deni [/QUOTE]
