[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 698541, member: 1233"] Not in this life would he harm my parents physically. Well, not my mom. My dad can hold his own after a career teaching the toughest kids 2 very rough public schools could throw at him (17 of those as a shop teacher!!). When Wiz was about 12 he threw a punch at my dad. My dad laid him out on the ground with a return punch. Really really made me angry, because I totally hate violence, but I wasn't there at the time and could not do anything about it. But it was not ever repeated by either of them. Mostly my dad would not EVER hit his grandkids, but he doesn't react well to kids being absolute brats lashing out at him with violence. He and Wiz are VERY similar, and in my opinion my dad has more Aspie traits than my son does, so they either work very well together or they clash like Titans. My dad has more perseverance by a long shot so he wins each time they clash. It worked out well. If Wiz had EVER lashed out at my mom it would have been something he could not forgive himself for. My father would have killed him for it also. Probably literally and not figuratively. She is the one thing my dad absolutely cannot function without, that one thing that he absolutely needs and totally values. So threats to her are not tolerated well, esp from kids being little jerks. She is also the one person that Wiz would not ever think of hitting. I have no clue why, but she is. So I never really worried about him hitting her. It crossed my mind, but more as the last sign of the end of the world rather than as a real possibility. Any time she even entered a room, Wiz would stop being violent almost instantly. It drove me crazy at times because nothing else EVER worked and she absolutely could not see that he was violent with the rest of us. Esp with Jess and I, his violence was extreme, but since my mom didn't actually see it, she could not imagine or fathom it. Luckily he never lashed out at my parents other than the one time when he was 12. [/QUOTE]
