[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A swat with a belt hard enough to leave a mark. Kid was acting out all day, hitting grandparents’ dog, pushing people, not listening, whining and spouse gave a warning that the next time he would be spanked with a belt. And of course the kid misbehaved again. I don’t believe in physical punishment but spouse felt time outs and taking toys away weren’t working. [/quote]

I would never be able to feel the same about my spouse ever again. I don’t understand why you didn’t leave with your child when your spouse threatened them? I would have been livid hearing my spouse threaten to hit my kids. If other discipline options were not working it was probably time to leave anyway. [/quote]
Courts DGAF especially in VA. Abusive fathers get joint and sole custody all the time.

OP, get into therapy with your husband. He needs to learn about child development and understand what’s happening in your child’s brain. Corporal punishment is terrible. Tell husband you want to work together. You have to play the long game here. [/quote]

One swat on the butt with a belt is not abuse. So dramatic. [/quote]
