[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 729970, member: 13303"] As the stepparent of a violent and abusive young man, I know firsthand what you are experiencing. The advice you have received is spot on. You do not have to tolerate this behavior simply because your abuser happens to be your son. You may wish to consider moving very far away if you can manage it. I know you love your son, but he is a danger to you and perhaps others as well. He sounds EXTREMELY violent, more so than my stepson, and he may escalate to murdering you from what you describe. Since he is accustomed to his threats being effective (he gets what he wants by frightening you into submission) he is probably not going to stop anytime soon. Many members have had disappointing experiences with the police. Many police have minimized domestic violence when it is perpetrated by a troubled adolescent or young adult child. Your better option for immediate help, as has been suggested, may well be at a battered women's shelter. From there you can involve the police, hire an attorney to get him out of your home/file charges against him (if you can emotionally stomach it), etc. Best of luck and keep posting here, it helps.
