Today my 17 year old son threatened me (again). He made a fist and pulled it back and I instinctively raised my fists to counter the attack. He did not follow through.I told him if he hit me he would seriously regret it. He used to be such a good kid but the last 3-4 years have been a trial. I am wondering what I should have done. I have filed mental hygiene petitions on him a couple of times. Sometimes I wonder if I am safe around him.

I think in today's times kids have no respect for parents and are constantly being labeled. I am so sorry you are going thru this with your son. mine tried stuff like that til I kicked him out of the house right before he was 19. now he is a really good young man thank goodness! I wish you all the best!

is he still in school? high school? does he have to live with you? he's old enough to work and your safety isn't secure if he's raising his fists to you. please stay safe......xoxoxo pat
