[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 422895, member: 2960"] My opinion is that people can't "forgive and forget". You can learn to forgive harm done to you, but you cannot and should not ever "forget" or else it (whatever it is) just happens again, one way or another. In this particular situation, I don't think you're "over reacting" -- you have children depending upon you for their safety. He may not rage like he did and attack you, but it's all still there inside -- he's still capable of it. I remember when my son would rage for what seemed like forever. Hasn't done it for years, what with the medications and some increased level of maturity, but I know that there is still a well of something deep inside of him that can still be tapped. I don't know what support systems you have in place, what your husband thinks, or what your son's doctor(s) think of his aggression level and whether it is safe to have him near the other children. I hope you and your husband talk are talking to the docs about this -- a few other perspectives by people who actually know the individuals involved are great reality checks. Good luck to you....
