[quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this as someone who has a lot of empathy for your situation.  You were dealt a raw deal having a bad marriage (congratulations for seeing what was right for you and getting out of it) and then having your ex move far away from you and your child.

But please realize that you are still very angry at your XH and that you should not be taking out your anger and frustration on a child.  Children say inappropriate things.  They get corrected and they learn.  And the other parent realized this and corrected his child.  If this were some other insensitive comment that was not about you and your husband, would you have been so furious that you wanted to strike the child?  Unlikely.

Like another PP, I think you need counseling.  You are still in the anger stage over the dissolution of your marriage.  If you cannot get past your anger over your divorce to the point of taking out your frustration on a child, then you need to seek help getting you through the grieving process over your divorce.  Your over the top reaction to this child's comment is not healthy and not safe.  You need help.  You will get there, but you need help in managing your emotions and reactions while you process your loss.

Good luck.  I hope you find the peace and (your own) acceptance for what's happened in your life.  You and your child deserve that.[/quote]
