[QUOTE="klmno, post: 335305, member: 3699"] That's true- he has heart problems though and has had open heart surgery before and a dr's appointment today to check on it. I do feel for him but what can you do if a person flat-out refuses to consider any other approach to their offspring? I told him I know it's hard- but I called cops on mine for pulling a knife on me, hoping he would eventually get a clue that he can't do that to me or anyone else and to prevent it from happening. Shortly after I joined this board someone posted something that has always stuck with me. It was that we warrior parents need to think and plan ahead for potential crisis our difficult child's might end up putting us in. For instance, if I found a hit list that looked like my son was getting ready to go to school and kill people, it would be better to turn him in immediately and prevent it than to turn a blind eye or cover for him, hoping/thinking it wouldn't actually happen and end up with him and others dead or oothers dead and his life ruined and wasted behind bars forever. I have always kept that in the back of my mind for all kinds of situations, not just a potential threat of him hurting others at school. If my son turns out the way I hope, he will thank those of us that prevented him from doing worse someday. I don't think this acquaintance thinks this way. I think he's always wanting to cover up and try to change his son himself. Maybe he thinks if his son comes to see him as his friend, he won't do those things anymore. Personally, I'm concerned that his son may end up dead from an OD. [/QUOTE]
