[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752428, member: 18958"] There is also Job Corps, which is a federally funded, residential jobs training program with sites all over the country. They work with problemed young people. My own son went. As I see it a big part of the problem is this dynamic that has arisen and come to dominate the family that the abuse is centered upon you and you deal with it alone. This is NOT your problem alone to bear. And to believe it only affects you, is a mistake. All of your other children see this happen and experience it. That your husband is not present to see a lot of it, does not take away his responsibility. There are other jobs that would not take him away from the home. In my way of thinking you should NOT have to deal with this alone. This may require that you leave home and go to a shelter, as a means of protecting yourself. The main *and urgent issue, as I see it, is that you and your husband and the system, potentially, come to recognize this situation as the emergency that it is. You should not be left alone with him and he should not be allowed even one more time to threaten you or to hurt you. In any way. I would urge you to call the police, to file charges, and to leave the house, the very next time he does this. [/QUOTE]
