[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry you are in this very difficult situation.  
I have been there. 
Do not get CPS involved.  Use vague terms with the counselor to avoid mandated reporting. 
BUT- you have to be their protector. You must.  If you are going to assist him in avoiding CPS (which, let’s be honest, is what you are doing  (and i, many years ago) you must be their protector. 
It’s exhausting. But you can do it.  He must enter anger management counseling. At it has to be once or twice a week.  None of this monthly bullshit.

We had one physical incident somewhat similar to yours more than 10 years ago and  DH knew that I would absolutely report him if he didn’t fix the problem.  So it didn’t happen again - at least not physically.  He is in anger mgmt but still has emotional outbursts that are truly terrible. A few times a year.  We mostly leave the room - the kids are teens now.

It’s not ideal.  It sucks.  There is a lot of walking on eggshells when he is in a bad mood. 
Perhaps I should have left him years ago. Who the hell knows. But I do feel we have somewhat manger the problem.  Somewhat. 
Good luck. 
And find a friend to confide in.  It helps. [/quote]
