[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t understand how your child strangled you. How in the world did you allow it to get to that point. I’m serious. I’m trying to picture this. So, I’m wearing a scarf, and my five-year-old starts tugging at it. First of all, I wouldn’t even let him tug at some thing that I’m wearing about my neck. Second of all, if he was tugging to the point that I felt any tension whatsoever I would tell him to stop it. Don’t you think you are contributing to this messed up home environment by allowing your children to act so wildly and dangerously?[/quote]

I did ask him to stop pulling but he wasn't listening.  I probably could have stopped it and obviously should have before I passed out, so that was my bad - I had no idea I would actually pass out.[/quote]

But OP... I’m concerned with your history of abuse... you’re allowed (required, if you want your children to understand healthy boundaries) to physically stop someone from harming your body in even minor ways. I’m concerned you weren’t willing to put a stop to this because “you didn’t know you would pass out.” As if the risk of passing out is the only thing that would make this immediately unacceptable. I’m not a harsh parent, by the way! I don’t even punish my kid, but I do discipline her.

This also goes for being able/required to enforce healthy boundaries around the roughhousing.[/quote]
