[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 417814, member: 1169"] I think these diagnosis are often harder for the dads to accept as men seem to be hard-wired to fix things with blunt force. It took husband a long time to get on board with how these kids needed to be parented. Every so often he will still scream at one of the boys (or me) because he wants to make them 'just stop' and it doesn't work that way. Of course, then I remind him of how we are suppose to be acting and he pulls it together. When the kids were little, I could not leave him alone with more than 1 child. My mother would have to come over and help cause husband just couldn't do it. Now I can actually go away for whole weekends and not be too worried :) I just have to make sure the schedule is not too tough. Does your husband understand that if he continues to beat the child and the therapist reports him that CPS will get involved? If this is step-dad, I would make this a deal breaker and either pack up your children and leave or ask him to leave. If this is legal dad, then I would be very careful about leaving difficult child alone with him, since you clearly know about him hitting your son, CPS could feel that you are not keeping him safe.
