(11,925 posts)tried to kill my mom with a gun.She had moved out with me into an apartment,she had to have him sign tax papers on the house.I went into the room first sat down,mom held up the pen and paper for him to sign. He grabbed a gun he had under the chair grabbed mom by the throat and she told me to leave get out,she was barely understandable,my father started yelling to mom,you killed me,and pointed the gun at her,Time seemed to slow down,I leaped over the coffee table and slammed into him,the gun fell (he was drunk) and it went off in the hallway and we both ran out, got in the car,mom pushed my head under the dash as we peeled out of there, bullets were pinging the car. to this day,I hate him even tho he is dead.He ruined our family, the rest of my family still plays make believe. I got ptsd.
Violent men, violent drunks/addicts and sociopaths men or women,need to be stopped restrained,shunned,basically their behavior should never be tolerated by any civilized people. And sometimes the appeasing game just prolongs the pain. Sometimes you do have to put down a rabid dog.
