[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634007, member: 1550"] You have a choice. If he even starts to become violent, either verbally, or he corners you, or he lifts his fist, or he smashes your wall or anything else, call the police. Do not tell him anything without your cell phone in your hand, ready to call. Memorize the number. Do not allow him to be violent, either verbally, to your belongings or to you. Do not allow him to threaten you. I was afraid of my son too the day he left. He did not strike me. He cornered me and threatened me and threatened my house. There were no cell phones back then and I was really scared. I am on good terms with him now, fifteen years later. In fact, he is my one grown child who will never really grow up and he likes to call me every day and that's fine, as long as he keeps it civil, but he can never live with me again for any reason. He used to threaten my ex too when he moved out of my place and moved in with ex. He shoved him a few times and ex has a long standing illness and has always been frail. Why should we be afraid of our own child in our own home? Would you allow anyone else in the world to scare you that way or would you call the police? Your son is a man now and should face consequences if he threatens you. Immediate ones. Don't let it get out of hand. I don't know how bad your difficult child gets when he's angry, but if it's dangerously bad, you may have to take out a restraining order on him. Another thing I'd do, if you know anyone, is to make sure you are not alone when you tell him. Make sure a strong male is with you. You DO have power. He doesn't control you. He doesn't own you. And it's time that he knows it and it's time for YOU to have peace in your own house and in your life. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
