[QUOTE="TargetPractice, post: 701079, member: 20771"] [USER=11227]@Malika[/USER], looking back, I was not clear on the level of physicality in the incident with my husband. It was indeed very mild, grab and shove sort of situation, definitely "heat of the moment". I was not actually injured in any way, mostly scared, shocked and (emotionally) hurt. As for my son, this is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made, and it was ultimately the damage he is doing to his siblings that tipped the scales. As much as I want to help him, there is only so much I can do when he is not yet ready or willing to try to help himself as well. He will still be getting help, but at a distance that protects his younger siblings from further abuse from him, and allows all of us, including difficult son, to heal and work on ourselves. We are all very sad that it came to this, but we hope it's short term. In the meantime, we are focusing on making our household peaceful, cooperative and respectful so that when he returns, its to the best home and family we can be for him. [/QUOTE]
