[QUOTE="keista, post: 523210, member: 11965"] Welcome! Busywend's idea of taking the doors off completely is brilliant! in my opinion these boys have at least two distinct issues going on - 1. reactions to their previous abuse (fear of the door, peeing all over the bedroom - where else were they supposed to go when they were locked up?) and 2. what ever 'disorder' may be part of their inborn nature. There may be no diagnosed mental illness on their mother's side, but I think we can all agree that a person must be pretty disturbed to treat their kids that way and think it's OK. Sounds like your husband is sufferring from a touch of denial. I don't blame him. He doesn't want to acknowledge that what his ex did is [B][I]that[/I][/B] bad and could possibly have created some serious damage, and he doesn't want to admit that there is anything else really "wrong" with his kids. Alwas seems to be tougher for the men. Be gentle and non-accusatory with him. His knee jerk reaction right now will allways be defensive. [/QUOTE]
