[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 320216, member: 805"] Sharon, I'm a tad short on time so I haven't read the replies. I'm so sorry. I know this is something you hoped would not happen - the escalating of his violence - usually trained on you. The fact that he feels remorse is a good thing, but that does not excuse or dismiss the fact that you could have been seriously injuried and that difficult child needs some intervention. Sharon, what happens if the next time it's a knife? He's getting bigger (which usually equates with stronger). Were there things you could have done differently in this situation? I would say that I would not have followed him up the stairs knowing he was so upset and would have just written off the pack. But whether it happend night before last or next week, it was bound to happen. Sharon, as much as you want the family together for the holidays, want to have the ideal, the upcoming schedule is probably going to be really tough on difficult child. If it's tough on difficult child, it means it's even tougher on you. In my opinion, husband needs to care about your safey first. Making excuses or justifying difficult child's behavior is like sticking his head in the sand, in my opinion. I'm sorry if this is harsh, but having just watched his wife get pushing down the stairs by his son should be a huge wake up call, in my opinion. Sharon, I know how much you love difficult child. I know how much you want him to be able to participate in upcoming festivities. I know you love him so much that you hope love and understanding will help. I think difficult child deserves to have his issues dealt with head on. How do you think he feels inside? Sharon, huge mega hugs to you. Sharon [/QUOTE]
