You didn't say how old your son is, but if he is a minor you bet you can nail his little butt. First off, threatening to burn down your house is not a normal thing to do so it's important you get some help for him. It's obvious you'd need two large horses and 2 large men to drag him to a psychiatrist, so the best thing to do is talk to your doctor and tell him about the threats. The next time your son threatens you, (as hard as this may be) call the police and make a formal complaint and have him taken away in handcuffs. Then start the legal system working in your favor. By having him arrested and formal charges of threats and bodily harm laid against you, the legal system can then get him the help that he needs. As a mother I know this is almost unthinkable, but look at it this way ... one day he will set your house on fire. If he isn't a minor you can still do the same as above. This time charges will be more severe and he could get jail time. Never mind what it does to his reputation. He is not about to get the help he needs and he will get it if jailed. He could be on drugs for all you know. In fact, I just saw a program on what steroids do to young men (especially those in football or Basketball) and the coaches hinting for these kids to take steroids because they need to "bulk up." Steroids like most other drugs are quite easy to get over the internet with no questions asked. Steroids cause rages in young men and also can lead to severe depression and suicide. Street drugs can do the same thing. Before you go ahead with the above, please speak to your doctor, then go to the police department and talk to them. Ask them what will happen if you are willing to press charges. You don't want him getting out and harming you. I hope you seriously think of this and please, please get that help for your son. This is very abnormal behavior and it could not only cost you your home but perhaps your life. Good luck Marcy
please be very careful. He may have a chemical imbalance. The greatest mother in the world couldn't change a chemical imbalance. please seek professional help. good luck
Missouri does not have emancipation of minors statues so there can be no court procedure concerning such. If there is abuse you should enlist the help of a trusted adult such as a teacher or contact the state's child protective services for assistance.
Men, because they are stronger than a women when they are a adult. It would depend on what you mean by abusive, as women can be more abusive verbally, which could result in a man getting physical. Cases where women are physically abusive, don't tend to be reported, as it is embarrassing for a man, also many believe they wouldn't be taken seriously.
My advice would be get a restraining order. The police can help you and answer all of your questions about how to protect yourself. No parent should ever be afraid of their child. Empower yourself!
It does often happen that people will learn how to get their way through verbal aggression, from their own experiences of being verbally abused. Life is an endless learning experience, but sometimes people learn the wrong things. Answer I think it COULD happen but I think it would be the exception and not the rule. Victims in these kinds of situations are usually not abusive types of people - that's why they are victims. If it is an adult who grew up in a verbally abusive environment they may be the victim for a while and then finally snap and turn the tables and become the abuser but I think in most circumstances the victim would not become the abuser in the next relationship.
If you are an adult, you should be able to move to Texas. If you are not an adult left, your parents will have to give you permission.
Ten years is the best age by which you should be best friend of your daughter. She should confine every thing with you. Now you should consult the psychologist for this problem.
you have to move with a adult
Yes. They should have the will drafted by an attorney who specializes in probate and is familiar with state laws. A testator who wants to disinherit adult children must do it properly for the will to be effective.
You are in a very difficult situation and the following are only possible suggestions. If you have a good relationship with your father you might try approaching him when he's in a good mood and your mother is not around. Try telling him that when he treats your mother that way it makes you feel sad and uncomfortable. If your father is verbally abusive to you also then don't do this. Instead you could try explaining the situation to a trusted adult- perhaps your paternal grandparent(s). Without knowing more details about your situation it's hard to think of suggestions.
No and never should attempt to. However, in abusive situations, people can develop fears and behavior that are a result of the abuse.
The English language does not have a special term for an adult son or daughter. The words son and daughter apply without regard to age.
