[QUOTE="CDN_DAD_in_tough, post: 734523, member: 21175"] I'm not sure if a really do have a plan in place. I mean my thought is pretty much always "call the police if things get crazy." But the immediacy of any given situation is so difficult for me. I have in the past called 911 in these situations and the problem is that unless you are in one of those circumstances where there is real and specific threat of serious violence ("my son is threatening me with a knife!") you don't get a very quick response. Just calling the police and saying "my son is being an ass and he's going to try and kick in my bedroom door" doesn't seem to rate that sort of emergency response - and so you either have to try and keep him from doing that damage or just let it happen and wait an hour for the police to arrive. I seem to have a real problem with the "letting it happen" part... I have been in some counseling in the past. It's something I'll certainly consider more of going forward as it does provide some benefit. [/QUOTE]
