[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 284436, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. I had hoped that things were going somewhat better - that maybe husband was finally getting a clue about this. Very often mental illness runs in families. I don't think mom was the only source of difficult child's problems. Your husband seems almost delusional about this. [COLOR=Red]The discussion about the therapist playing games is almost EXACTLY what difficult child is trying to convince husband about the other kids.[/COLOR] That is TERRIFYING. You cannot help this man or his children. ALL you can do is save yourself and your children. Sadly, the young girl will have to rely on her father for protection. It is time to SERIOUSLY make plans and [COLOR=Blue]GET. OUT. [/COLOR][COLOR=Red]NOW!![/COLOR] If you anger this child he may or may not hurt you directly. He may very well abuse the 9yo and force her to say that you or one of your sons did it. It could DESTROY your son's future, maybe even more than 1 of your sons' futures.. You don't bounce back from being accused of child abuse. Especially sexual abuse. With sexual abuse you are guilty until proven innocent. NOT the other way around. And you NEVER recover. And this boy knows it. If difficult child abuses the 9yo but tells dad he was somewhere else, then your husband is going to attack one of your sons. It will be a way to "prove" that he isn't a bad father, that his son is the poor innocent abused boy. To prove that you are not a "better" parent than he is. This boy is terribly dangerous. I would hazard a guess that the 9yo has already been abused by him and that at some level your husband knows about it. I am sorry the docs were not more helpful. Chances are the psychiatrist already knows that difficult child is beyond any kind of in-home help. Is it also positive that the therapist was trying to urge you to leave by saying to put safety first? Maybe to do it with-o alienating husband completely? I hoep that you have some way to recharge your batteries. Here is to protecting yourself and your sons from difficult child and husband. sending lots and lots of hugs. [/QUOTE]
