[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 320135, member: 8226"] Wow. I've read your post several times, and I haven't found where difficult child got any consequences yet. If this had been my house, there would have been no husband, and no easy child to help me out. I would have had to call the police, and my guess is that difficult child would have been charged with three assaults and possibly four, depending on whether he was throwing the hot/cold pack randomly or aiming for me. I agree that it might have been a better decision not to follow upstairs, but my reading is that once there, you tried to disengage, only to be assaulted two more times. In my state, it wouldn't take much of that behavior for difficult child to be removed from my home. Do you think difficult child "gets it"? What if it had been only you and difficult child in the house at the time and you unable to get up? difficult child surely wouldn't have been able to stay home and watch TV while you were transported to the hospital. I would be explain to difficult child as clearly as possible exactly what COULD have happened over this. Has he ever had a chat with the police, and do you think it might be effective if he did? Even now, after the fact? If hospitalization is ineffective, and outpatient treatment is ineffective, that leaves only the court system, unless I'm missing something. Maybe it's because of my current perspective regarding my own difficult child, but I'm not impressed with his being "upset." in my humble opinion he should be VERY upset. And I think the reason is relevant. Does he have true remorse for hurting you, or is he only worried selfishly about how this incident could hurt HIM? [/QUOTE]
