Oldest DS, 20s, has just sent a toxic, highly threatening FM message to DS2. Explicit language, violent threats. Background is history of MH issues, including suicide attempts, leaving home and aggressive, even defamatory communications with third parties. Lots and lots of problems - police, too, have been involved.
Over past months, just as we thought things had gone quiet, this DS has been meeting youngest DS, still at school, off the train and trying to entice him to live with him. We don't exactly know where DS is living but we think not far away. DS 2, foolishly perhaps, let on to DS3 where he's at Uni.
All in all, feeling shaky, very worried and waiting for DH to come back from work to talk this through. Gut instinct is that the level of aggression in the message, which was out of the blue according to DS2, warrants asking the police to find him and, at the very least, caution him.
Worried for younger kids - in particular DS still at home all year round and for myself. DS3 has spoken, to others, in past of violent fantasies towards me but this is the first time, for a long time, I've seen anything quite so malevolent and aimed at all of us.
Sorry - I know this is a lot to take in but any support right now would be so welcome.
