[QUOTE="klmno, post: 347408, member: 3699"] I agree with the others- I know we hate to accept that we have reached the worst case scenario stage, but I think you have- short of him actually accomplishing the serious wounding of you. When I read your post, what came to my mind was that therapist I was seeing last winter telling me that just like with any other kind of abuse, we become conditioned to it and keep moving our line of "tolerable" further and further when it's our kids, but of course, this can lead to defeating the purpiose if it becomes allowing too much instead of leading to more treatment or other means to address it. I don't know what to advise yyou either- or exactly where you should draw that line. But I definitely am worried about your safety. I just can't see that he's getting better about these threats right now. ((HUGS)) ETA: Yep, Fran, the knife at my neck was clearly over any line I could possibly have- even for my own son. In hindsight, it would have been at earlier signs of aggression toward me simply because after 2 or 3, it should have been clear that difficult child wasn't going to learn his lesson in this area without intervention and he couldn't cope with the least mention of this in family therapy without getting worse at home.
