[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has your husband ever hit you? Have your children witnessed him hitting you?

[b]I also agree that the reaction of the 8 year old is off and I wonder if she’s learned to not intervene.[/b]

The entire scenario and its details are hard to believe.[/quote]

All of this, but especially the bolded.[/quote]

Oh jeez! Husband has never hit me or the children. [/quote]

Just roughhoused to the point that your DS gets hurt, starts crying and then gets yelled at? [/quote]

Yeah, I’m less convinced that the husband is outright physically abusive and more concerned that a lot of over the line “roughhousing” happens— on the part of both the DH and the DS, who is “a handful” and “freakishly strong” and I’m guessing gets away with a lot of unacceptable hitting, kicking, etc. OP didn’t even immediately and physically stop him at the very moment he started strangling her. There’s definitely some combination of detachment, lack of boundaries and unacceptable physical acting out going on in this family, and the daughter is used to it.[/quote]
