[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 534140"] Speaking as one who's son has threatened her with a knife, you should have called 911 immediately when you saw him assaulting his sister. You mention a pattern. That sounds like bipolar to me. He really needs a VERY thorough evaluation. They said my son had a "psychotic episode" that caused this behavior. His was caused by a particular medication so it went away when we stopped the medication. Psychosis is NOT a part of ADHD. I agree that the therapist is giving you fair warning. If they aren't, not to mention there's been no progress in the 5 years he's seen them, you REALLY need a new therapist. After 5 years, there should be some sort of progress. Also, a therapist should NEVER make excuses for this type of behavior. That would be unethical. With this level of violence (it will get worse over time), the therapist should have been the first one to tell you to take him to the ER for a psychiatric admit. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you easy child and you. Have you taken easy child to therapy for survivors of violence? If not, you're doing her a disservice too. SHE is going to need a LOT of help dealing with this to not develop issues of her own.
