Violent child

[IfIShouldFallFromGraceWithGod]

I've had a recent return to violence from DC
DC is 13 and is bigger than me. I am alone apart from grown up DC who I prefer to stay out of things for their own safety
Just over a year ago things were very bad. I had an alarm phone and a marker on the house to bring the police quickly. Things settled down but I'm filled with dread that we may return to those days
DC traps me in places. I always have my phone in my pocket but it's hard to use with DC stood over me stopping me. It's scary
I already have internal locks but I can't get away from DC to get behind a locked door and the locks can work against me as they can lock us both in
So far I've been lucky and someone has rung me and it's easier to answer a call than make one. Without that I don't know how things could de escalate
Is anyone else living with similar. I feel very alone

I’m so sorry for you, this must be very difficult. I hope someone experienced can offer you some support soon.

Stay safe

I'm so sorry you are going through this. My son can be violent towards me but he is much younger, so it's not as intimidating.

Are you on Facebook? A lady called Yvonne Newbold set up a group call SEND VCB (violent challenging behaviour) which is very supportive and has lots of advice. There are two groups a public one and a private one, which you can apply to join. She also has a website too https://yvonnenewbold.com
