[QUOTE="Christy, post: 152594, member: 225"] You are all making godd sense but I have to admit I'm having a difficult time with this one. I guess what I need to realize is that nothing after the fact is going to help the situation; HOWEVER, I'm still furious. He hit me in the head with a shoe while I was driving. We could have been killed. He ran off, which is a new thing of his evidently, it happened just the other day when we were hiking in the woods, last week he walked out of the grocery store, and he took off accross a shopping center parking lot. We talked about this very thing at his counseling appointment earlier in the day. So today he is without privileges (and to be honest, that's a punishment for both of us as it means I have to find clever ways to keep him occupied). And the thinking me knows that this is not going to change the overall issue but the emotional me can't let it go. We discussed the sitauton briefly this morning when he got up and I told him that is the reason he has lost his priveleges but that we were going to have a good day together and make te most of it. Yesterday, I was thinking a WEEK of lost priveleges, but luckily I did not say this to difficult child because I now know that would be a nightmare for both of us. So I made some progress in convincing myself to let it go, but I can't get totally past it because it was so scary and infuriating at the same time and I guess I want justice for what he put me through. This is just a vent, I know that isn't going to make the situation better but I wanted to be honest about it. Thanks Christy [/QUOTE]
