[QUOTE="witzend, post: 620592, member: 99"] If you know he does pot every day and he acts like this, it's more likely that he is doing a lot more than you know. In the past couple of years when M and I finally started to talk again he would drop bombshells into the conversation. "I'm so glad I stopped doing ----." It doesn't really matter what ---- is, but it's something I didn't know about and would have dealt with had I known. FWIW, our big counseling with M eye-opener was when the counselor said, "I can't divulge what M has told me, and he says that now that he has told me he won't talk to me anymore. I believe that you all need help. M needs therapy, and you two (husband & I) need therapy to deal with this. I don't know if you are safe. I hope he will tell you what he has done." To this day I don't know what he told her he did, or if he was making up stories. I don't even know if I've ever said that particular thing since I first joined here in 2002. I know he abused our pet. I know that he stole my butcher knife and kept it with him for weeks because he was going to kill me for making him go to bed when he was [I]15 years old.[/I] I know that for years after he left our home we cringed when a news report came on about a violent teenager raping or killing someone. It's no way to live. She didn't tell us, and I don't know what he did, or if he did it. I just know it terrified us and it still terrifies me. This thread is getting quite long, so I don't know if someone has already said this - Don't [I]ever[/I] try to pin your son again. Get everyone safely out of the house, go to a coffee shop or just down the block, and call the police.
