Devastated,
I'm not expert, believe me. But when a person, son or not, starts to threaten your life its time to put them in jail. For your safety as well as that childs. If you love that child like you say you do then you need to act on this. A 7 year old knows whats going on. She may not show it but she has to be scarred to death. At least if she knows that he's in jail, she may feel safer and not have to look over her shoulder everytime she leaves the house. Or worry who's there every time someone knocks at the door.
He truly sounds more like he has more severe problems than addictions. Its time to take care of yourself and your family.
Its never OK to threaten people with death. A psychological game that I wouldn't play.
Hangin' In
That story was so sad but I need to hear things like that. Thanks
