[quote=Anonymous]I was in your exact situation, OP, and I stayed because I couldn't let my son be alone with his dad's silent treatment and inexplicable rage outbursts.  He's 10 now and things have gotten a little better, and I also feel more comfortable with the idea of leaving because my son is old enough to be able to communicate with me (he has an Apple Watch now to text us.) I've also spent a lot of time helping him to understand that his dad Ms rages are not about him, so I don't think he is as vulnerable as he would have been if he was alone with his dad at 4 or 5 or 6 years old.

There are lots of good arguments for saying I should have left so that at least 50% of the time, he could have peace in his home...but I just couldn't leave him alone to deal with that kind of verbal abuse.  (the silent treatment IS abusive, especially to children...but he also would throw things and scream just as yours does)

I did the best I could.  I think my son is as okay as he could be right now.  I think you are going to do the right thing for yourself and your son.  And I'm sorry that it's so hard.[/quote]
