[QUOTE="Fran, post: 347391, member: 3"] Sharon, I don't know what to suggest. All I can say is that I understand your need to dismiss his threats because of him switching gears quickly. You feel you still have a handle on things. I know your husband isn't ready to think in terms of difficult child being too unsafe to be in school or home. There isn't much we can suggest. Just ask yourself how many people have to share their concern before you guys believe it? You have been injured. He doesn't feel remorse until he is in way too deep. Do you have a line in the sand? For me, physical attacks were it. If difficult child raised a hand or hurt easy child, I was going to turn things from therapeutic to self protection for those of us who were left in his wake. I'm not sure what it would take for you and husband to know when he was posing a danger. Frankly a jabbing knife would pretty much have all my red flags up and waving. I wouldn't care or believe he was only joking but we all have different levels of tolerance. Sigh. I'm sorry for you. I hope someone else has a more productive suggestion but I don't have much. Hopefully, he will settle in as the month moves on. [/QUOTE]
