[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the supportive comments.  It's a really crappy situation.

CPS (Arlington) won't take the case because they said that the only situation where my kid was in imminent danger was when my husband put his hands around son's neck. Because it was over a year ago they told my son's therapist (she's the one who called CPS) the other things did not warrant an investigation.  It's not spanking at all. It's a matter of my husband being about to blow up and then hitting my son. As far as my definition of abuse- yeah, I think it's abusive to hit your kid, but if CPS doesn't do something then I have little support to go on.  It seems terrible though that I need to wait until something worse happens to my son.

My son is already in talk/play therapy and it's something they've talked about.  It's so confusing for a kid to love their parent, but also have them hit them.

Excellent point- I don't know that he'll want overnights with the kids.  [/quote]

You are in a terrible situation. The judge will hold it against you that you don't want your kids to be with their father overnight, even though the father sounds horrible to a normal person. I'm curious -- why did it take the therapist a year after your DH put his hands around the child's neck to call CPS?[/quote]
