[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 321011, member: 6546"] Marg-- You are always so insightful! And you manage to put things in a perspective that I hadn't considered--the boss probably WAS trying to get work for free, he definitely wasn't listening to anything I had to say, and you're right on--he recently acquired the business, he didn't build it himself. Yes, in the past I have tried to just ignore all of difficult child's threats. Instead, I just brought all of the notes and writings to her docs and therapists to deal with, who promptly dismissed all of them. But now that we have reached a level where I feel like I am living in a constant battle with this child (and the docs and therapists have reached the end of the services they are willing to provide), I am collecting evidence and taking all of this seriously. Many a social worker has advised difficult child that making such threats is a criminal act (in fact, many of the responses from her old friends have advised her that she is talking about murder and that they won't talk about stuff like that) --but difficult child is making a new circle of much more dangerous friends...and it is only a matter of time before some gang-banger wannabe is gonna grab his father's shotgun and try and help difficult child out of her abusive home situation. So whether difficult child is making threats to blow off steam or not--when you start speaking that way with the wrong group of people, things can quickly take a very bad turn. So one way or another, our family needs some serious intervention. I am going to make all the noise that I can until I am heard. Heather-- You are right, a safe, comfy, and quiet padded room sounds lovely right about now. Do you think they'll let me bring my dogs? --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
