[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]Op here. Ack! I was thinking of identify possible weapons so they could be secured or avoided. I got rid of a utility knives, moved tools to the locked garage, etc.[/b] [/quote]

[quote]This is utter insanity. If you fear for your safety and the safety enough to get rid of the utility knives, you have your answer right there. What on earth makes you think that this guy won't break a window, which he has a demonstrated record of doing, and then use one of the shards of glass to threaten you or your child?

You have used every opportunity to in this thread to offer excuses why removing yourself and your daughter from this frightening situation just won't work . . .[/quote]

That is exactly what happened in my house. My son (mental illness and a teenager) broke glass and used it as a weapon. I also have a younger daughter. The effort and cost to keep her safe was unbelievable. The weapon glass occurred early after onset of symptoms so we were not at the point where treatment had been refused or had failed. But the unbelievable hell that became our lives is something you can’t imagine.

OP, if you work, you might want to be thinking about how you are going to keep your daughter away from the house when you are not there and by your side when you are. My daughter became a target and the dynamics in your family (divorced dad, new child who has no problems and is probably cute, lovable, etc. ) May put your daughter at risk. Trust me. It takes seconds for a serious injury to happen and you can’t always prevent it even when you are right there. You will soon find out who your friends are because when you have to repeatedly ask for help, they drop off. [/quote]
