[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 752434, member: 13303"] I am the stepparent to two young adult men, both of whom have displayed violent behavior. You CANNOT tolerate this for one second longer - even if the only option is YOU choosing to leave this hot mess of an adolescent for his father to deal with. Given the horrific circumstances in which you find yourself, I cannot imagine that you would not be able to find shelter at a domestic violence agency, potentially check yourself in for inpatient treatment (which frankly, sounds like a very good idea if the portrait you paint of life in your home is accurate); or even take your younger children and file for divorce. You don't have to actually go through with a divorce, but it may send a message to your emotionally absent husband that you are at your breaking point. Don't let this son kill you, either literally or figuratively through wearing you down to absolutely nothing. The options raised above are all valid but take time. You don't have any more of that. You are out of time. If this was me, I would leave. [/QUOTE]
