[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who is violent. I remember the shock I felt when it started. I wish that we had the perfect reactions - but I’m not really sure what that would have been. Over time and through a lot of medical treatment with my son, we got better at anticipating and avoiding.

I say this to point out that you have a child that crossed a hard line. Your husband may have reacted badly. It’s time to discuss bringing the professionals and, in a calmer time, discuss boundaries. But there is a lot of heat of the moment reactions that will never be perfect. And everyone who is now saying run and divorce probably don’t have violent kids. But you do. [/quote]

+1. I would start with professional help for the child.  It sounds like you are dealing with a very difficult situation here. [/quote]

This is the impression I get as well.  That mom.and dad have been in denial about the kids issues, but he's becoming more violent and now hurting the sibling.
What's concerning is that dad doesn't seem to think there was a problem with how he reacted. It should have shaken him to the core that he was so rough with his son and he should be begging for professional intervention for them both[/quote]
