[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 706138, member: 1550"] I just asked my husband, a pretty fearless military vet. He said "I wouldn't call the cops but he would never come in the house again." I'm a woman. I'd call the cops. I did call the cops on my daughter when she did drugs. It didn't ruin her life or our relationship in the end. But the drugs were killing her. Cop a raised some extremely good questions and brought up serious issues. The thrown knife was a threat. And your son may need help but you can't make him get help at his age and he could certainly get help without living in your house. That would be a deal breaker for me. Violence is not just when somebody strikes you. A very good psychologist told me this. Violence can be verbal rage, throwing things, looming over you...doing anything to intimidate another person. You need to decide where your owinn rock bottom is. Do you have other children at home? Grandchildren who visit? I think age matters. Your son is not 18. He is 28. Men of his age are moving along, working productively, maybe raising a family. He wont ever get there if you protect him when he threatens you. Please...decide what is best for you and the other reasonable family members. And is it good for your son to be able to get away woth these things? We are concerned. [/QUOTE]
