Actually, I jumped in this thread without even thinking.

Yes, what you said is true and makes a lot of sense.

And yes, he did learn that I fall a apart when he saw his father's rage towards me. So, I can say it is my fault my son vents his strikes his anger towards me. Come to think of it, my son witnessed me crumble and become submissive when my own brother was raging at me. I don't know, it looks like I have problems standing up for myself.. I have weakened over the years. Which is only my fault. I just can't deal with rage and threats, so I guess I hide. That surely doesn't solve any problems.

Anyway, I do understand and even agree with what you have said. ((((((((( Rhapsody)))))))))
