2many... please make the call. And please don't stay in the same house with someone who is threatening you with violence. If he can say it, he can visualize it. If he can visualize it he can do it. It doesn't matter that he's sick or chemically impaired. Why is not the issue. We can feel sorry for him later. The issue is safety. These crisis organizations exist because people aren't always safe taking time to make arrangements. If the windup starts again, put the kids and his mom in the car and drive. If you don't drive call a cab or the cops. But don't be available to be hurt.... please.

It's in the nature of codependents to overreact, but this is not a time for sitting around and evaluating your motivations. Better to find out you were overreacting from a distance than underreacting in proximity.

Hugs,
Smoke
