[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 156450, member: 3626"] Vicki, I hope you don't take this wrong but I thought maybe if I gave you a slightly different perspective on your husband's actions, it might take a little of the anger away. I should have said something when the broken arm incident first occurred, but you were in so much pain and so angry, I was afraid to say anything. I remember how upset you were that your husband ran to Aly rather than you that day. Quite honestly, I would have done the same thing he did. You were an adult. Yes, an adult in pain but you understood what had happened. Aly was a child who had done something horrible to the person she loved in a fit of anger. I can only imagine her pain, fear and confusion. As much as I might have loved the injured adult, I would have felt compelled to see to my child first. As bad as physical pain is, unless there is a mortal danger, I think the emotional needs of a child have to come first. Now, I doubt your husband was reasoning it out like this, but I think somewhere inside of him this was the gut reaction. I know there is more to your anger than just this one incident but I wanted to put at least this one thing in a different perspective. I'm not trying to negate your pain nor deny you your right to be angry, just trying to give you something more to mull over (can't let that mind get too dull, can we?). [/QUOTE]
