[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your husband needs anger management

I think you both need parenting classes and possibly therapy for your son he's exhibiting violent behavior towards his sibling and father. You need to get to the bottom of this and put a stop to it.[/quote]
+1  Your DH is correct to restrain him, but not in the manner he did. He could've held his arm.  The instinctive reaction to go for the throat is troublesome. Is it divorce worthy? IDK. If he agrees that what he did was wrong, and willing to seek anger management, I think that is best.

Your son also has anger issues. Is he getting it from the dad?

And if the husband had grabbed the kid’s arm, and the kid twisted to get away, that could have resulted in a spiral fracture, landing husband in jail.[/quote]

You seriously think a child would actually BREAK THEIR OWN ARM trying to twist away from someone who had a grip on them? You don’t break someone’s arm by accident, unless maybe they are frail elderly in their 80s with osteoporosis or something.

I seriously think that 95% of this thread is about women having absolutely zero experience with physical roughhousing (let alone actual physical violence) of any kind. Women who have never been in any kind of physical conflict apparently have a lot of fantasies about how physical contact is always verging on felony assault of homicide[/quote]

I'll state this simply so that you can understand: it is not ok to grab someone by the throat or neck.[/quote]

There are many many ways to have your arm or hand near or on someone’s neck without applying pressure to the windpipe or strangling them. Even in a conflict situation strangulation does not happen accidentally you have to *try*. No evidence this guy was strangling his kid. If he was that’s bad obviously but from OPs description I doubt it

Again, this thread bears the mark of many women who never engaged in physical roughhousing ever in their life and are freaked out by any idea of their children being in any kind of tussle with an adult male. Just no awareness of the mechanics of physical contact and a lot of leaping to wild conclusions and imagining very unlikely worst cases. The woman above who thinks that if someone grabs their kid by the arm the kid would actually twist *his own arm* hard enough to break it. That would be so difficult and painful as to be physically impossible. Anyone who would think it’s possible has basically never had anyone grab their arm wrestling in their life and doesn’t understand the physics of things at all[/quote]

Do not put your hand on a person's neck or throat.[/quote]
