[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 616108, member: 3512"] Thank you everyone for your responses. I'm not sure how I gave the impression that husband is difficult child's stepdad. He is his biological father. husband is a great guy in many ways. We have never had a wonderful marriage but difficult child's issues have really strained it more. We have two grown children who we never had more than the typical problems with. It's not so much that he hit difficult child. Honestly, I've done that myself more than once. I'm talking about a slap. I always regretted it, as does husband but living with a defiant oppositional child is unbearably stressful, whether they can control it or not. However, husband has an anger problem and can go from 0-100 in a second so that difficult child never really knows when he will explode. The night this happened, I was handling difficult child and husband came flying into difficult child room without warning. Only when I tried to get him away from difficult child and couldn't did I call police. This happens frequently and three years ago we separated over it. It's nobody's FAULT but has to take responsibility. He's the adult. [/QUOTE]
