[QUOTE="Andy, post: 206673, member: 5096"] Welcome - Yes, it is so hard to talk about but you feel you need to tell someone. This is a great place to start. We do understand when a child we love so much is violent and/or chooses a bad lifestyle. We see so much potential in our kids and we so want to put the spotlight on their best behaviors and talents and say to tell the world, "Don't look at the bad things. This kid really is so cool, so awesome. Please give him a chance." We feel that they are throwing their lives away. They take everything we give them and disregard as nothing is good enough. Why can they not just implement what we all know is good for them? Why do they demand life has to be perfect and everyone has to cater to them every second? Anyway, you were right to call the police. Having someone beat on you is not overreacting with a police call. You state that he punched your arm over and over. That would tell me that in his anger, he did not want to really harm you otherwise those punches would have moved to your head. That may be a ray of hope, however, the police call was in order because your life was in danger and who knows, next time his rage may take him further. He must learn now and hard that he may not be violent with you. period. You did the right thing. We also understand how hard telling (or not telling) friends and family will be. You do not need to tell anyone if you choose not to and that not telling also has strange feelings. It helps if you do have some friends and family who will be supportive in this. Being able to talk to someone is very helpful. We will be here for you. You can tell us anything. This is a great place to vent. We truly understand - we are all human and there is such a large volume of emotions we go through with our kids on any given day.
