[QUOTE="klmno, post: 235188, member: 3699"] Learner, I know you are not intentionally doing this, but focusing on what to do next time is letting yourself get caught up in his sick game. You need to be figuring out how to make sure that there is no next time. I am sorry to hear that your daughter had to leave her home, instead of your son. Look at my situation, I am trying to get my son in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or extensive services in place if he comes back home. That will have to include a crisis plan and available in-home interventions. BUT- what would you say to me if I wasn't seekiing additional assitance and just said that his regular outpatient therapist appts were enough, please just advise me on how to get away from him the next time he has two knives in my face? If you thought what he's getting fro treatment now is sufficient, you wouldn't be asking that question. And,. I think BBK has a point. As horrid of an experience this was for you (and you might have some PTSD going on), it is a big red flag that I don't think you should ignore. I hope you never need to explain to anyone that you knew that your son wanted to do things like that but didn't make every effort to address it before someone else gets seriously hurt. I would bet whatever little I have left that if he isn't already fantasizing about doing more, he will get to that point without serious, extensive treatment that is specific for this type of problem. Look at this as an opportunity to stop him before this gets worse.. [/QUOTE]
