[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761381, member: 23706"] Hi Pepper, dear lady. Your son is making scary, violent threats against you and literally offering others money to hurt you. I do not say this lightly but gently suggest that you may want to take this seriously. Its scary. You may want to report it, even.if your husband can not do it. I would definitely visit the police if this was me. I would take it seriously. Meth can cause violent behavior. Son is using violent, very dangerous language and if you choose not to take police action, as well as being.proactive in every other way, a tragedy could happen and your son's life may be one of years in prison for a bad crime. He will probably not obey a restraining order. Many people just don't. Then if he doesn't honor it, he CAN be arrested, but your husband doesn't want to have him arrested so would he even call the cops to report it? If you want to be safe AND help your son at all, in my opinion you NEED the cops to arrest your son, or at least warn him, so that he knows he is not threatening open targets He needs to know he is being watched. This may stop him from destroying his life and harming YOU. Nobody wants to believe that a loved one can harm them...or would. So msny who actually harm family or friends SHOCK people who know them. "He made threats, but I didn't think he would really do it" is commonly heard from acquaintances and even family of school shooters, mass killers and those who are involved in crimes done by others they know and sometimes love. Mom is often a target. Dad too. Apparently your son is not who he once was. He uses possibly dangerous drugs. He knows about various guns too. He is asking.people to harm you for a price. You are gambling that he doesn't really mean it. But you can't be sure. If it were me, it would break my heart, but all those scary messages would go to the police. Today.. Jail isn't the worst thing maybe. He won't use drugs or drink there and will be safe from himself. And you will be safe. Can you risk that he may hurt or even kill somebody? That is up to you. For us, the answer would be no way. You are safest if you take action and so is your son. Some of our kids MAY hit us. All are verbally abusive. Very few threaten to hurt us or put violent threats about us out there on the internet. The Michigan school shooter did that and told people what he planned to do. Nobody reported him. "We just thought he was talking s**t" they all said. But he did it. I pray you can find peace with whatever you decide to do. I will pray for all of you. [/QUOTE]
