[quote=Anonymous]I have two boys and one is “impulsive’ like you describe.  He has ADHD and has been getting help for it for years.  When little, this one was physically aggressive with people, so we had to work hard to teach him that he couldn’t do this without getting in trouble both at home and at school.  It was tough on my other son who often bore the brunt of his hitting as they were growing up.

If you haven’t had your younger son evaluated to see what is behind his “impulsiveness”, please do so immediately so he can get the help he needs (maybe medication and cousling).  Your older son does need counseling immediately both individually and as a family to address his anger.  It is never OK for a son to hit a woman and that needs to be made crystal clear so he doesn’t do it to anyone ever again.  It sounds like he was at his breaking point and hit you out of desperation to be heard.  If there is a way to separate the living arrangements of the kids until things settle down, I would look into it.  I’m surprised your DH only talked to your son after he slapped you.  I admire his restraint.  There’s no telling what mine would have done if either kid did that to me.[/quote]
