[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 134480, member: 84"] Susie Under almost all circumstances husband let me deal with the difficult children. His excuse has always been he was afraid he'd "lose it", too. Personally, I think it's because he didn't want to "deal" with it. Which was fine by me, because on the rare occasion he did attempt to enforce rules he always went to the extreme on punishment that had to be later changed to fit the situation. (not good) BUT if either difficult child had attempted to be violent with me I know husband would be right there to put a stop to it. He's had to jump to my side to back me up once or twice. That is what I'd have the problem with, I think. That husband didn't stop difficult child's violence toward you, even if it meant just wrapping his arms around difficult child and holding him til he calmed down or something. And I'm with Witz, that "just headbutting" thing gets to me. I've been headbutted numerous times by Travis. Believe me, even when he was 2 I wouldn't have put a "Just" in front of it. Alot of physical damage can be done via headbutting. My husband pretty much stinks in the hubby dept, and parent dept, but he would step in to protect me from physical violence. I don't have any words of wisdom. I hope counseling works. I hope he steps up to the plate for you and your marriage. Many ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
