what to do now that my husband has hit my child? will he do

I guess you forgot the vow of love, honor and obey your spouse. He's a PARENT too and has every right to discipline your children as he chooses and you are there to back him up as his wife! If the you or your kids don't like it leave! Hope your hubby gives them a lovely parting gift too!

If I were you, I would get divorced and try to find a work to afford my spends including my son, what the hell is that, the kid will not be normal if your husband keeps hitting him and he will never forgive you if you keep slient, everything can go to hell unless our children, your husband is a big jerk, he is an id**t and if I were you, I would hit your husband ..

Violence only begets more violence. 

 

You teach best by example - you show by your doing, if you want manners you say your please and thank yous, if you don't want hitting you show what hands are for: hands are for cleaning, playing games, having fun but never hitting - it's always showing by example.  This will be the best way to break the cycle from happening again in their own family one day as you have taught them a better way to cope and be treated and treat others.

 

In teaching your children and others in this way you can only hope that they will turn out in the way you say 'normal'.

i agree that children need displine  and they actual thrive as long as it disapline and not abuse. but where is the line. is it ok  to punch your child in  the chest . especially  if your 6'4 and 260 easy and my son is 6'1- 160 and 17.

Child abuse has no ethnicity... Child abuse or abuse in general is abuse

I love your nickname so appropriate... hope you get the same treatment for yourself. You sick person

I think you really should leave him as he shouldn't be doing things like hitting people animals or things if he is angry. he may be stressed about something so I he needs a therapist. otherwise you would not be writing that message on the internet if you were concerned. as you said he said if you let him back in he wont get stressed out I wouldn't believe it personally, as he may be saying it just so he has somewhere to stay you shouldn't trust him hitting your son and dog while being stressed out that's way to far. by what I heard you should leave him. sorry if I misunderstood you. take care and all the best. xx

Can people who physically abuse (hitting, slapping) their family members and partners, be healed mentally by the help of counselling? Should they be convicted?
