[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only OP knows what happened. CPS is often overzealous, especially when racial or cultural prejudices are in play.

OP needs to decide if DH is abusive or if therapist was on a power trip or ignorant.

Therapist has forced you to choose a side: DH or CPS.

Call a lawyer, and tell to people you really trust to figure out if you need to intervene between DH and the kids, or defend DH against persecution.

If DH is pushing boundaries he can come back from, be open and honest with him about that.

If a power tripping nanny state is attacking your family, you need to hold strong.

If DH is threatening your kids with violence, he needs to be temporarily separated from them before they get hurt and he goes to jail.

We can't know the facts. OP needs to figure it out, quickly. [/quote]

I see slightly more nuance. My DH has grabbed our kid in ways I feel are too rough but not abusive per se. I have told my therapist about it, and I would not blame my therapist if they reported to CPS. I also would not defend my DH to CPS if it came to that. I absolutely do not think he deserves to lose  access to his kids but I’m not going to lie about anything. I’d just tell the truth: “he grabbed DS’s arm to get him to sit down. I disagree with that physicality and intervened to make it stop. DH otherwise is a loving dad and has a good relationship. He’s never harmed DS.”[/quote]

Grabbing an arm is not cps worthy.[/quote]
