[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 688808, member: 18238"] Bear with me. Shoulder makes it hard to type. Not that it wasnt escalating already but when I told him to leave the situation went from 0 to 100 in nothing flat. Thats when the whole "So you're kicking me out" and "My DAD is calling the cops on me?!?!" crap starts. He claimed that I punched him in the face. What I did was stiff arm him as he was walking towards me and pushed backwards. During this he saw no problem with him trying to shove me aside to keep me from the phone or trying to smack the phone out of my hands. At this point, these are perfectly reasonable reactions in his mind but me trying to defend myself from his actions is not. Since he is in the right in his mind, my defense is actually an assault. If I were to tell him a similar situation right now while he is calm, he would agree with me. Sorry, cant find who posted it but think it was either Copa or Cedar but I agree with Lil about not forcing his hand about seeking help. While I understand and tend to agree with your assessment, I know our son and how he would react. To say it wouldn't be pretty would be like saying that a tornado is just a bit windy. He is firmly in denial about needing help with anything and ANY suggestion to the contrary can send him flying off the handle. Yes, he is in serious need of psychological help but he wont acknowledge it. [/QUOTE]
