I can't stand this anymore! I just couldn't make him stop. I had to call my hubby at work... during our conversation my son hurt me over and over again... my hubby had to get home from work too early to help me. My poor daughter was here in all this mess. I had to protect her... so I got all the kicks and blows....

how old is your son? is there nothing to do about this? I am so sorry he is hurting you. no parent should have to go thru this. (((((U))))

he's 8 years old... has got Asperger's disorder. This was the worst thing ever happened! I couldn't reach him. His pupils were huge and oh so black! He just kept on hitting me...Saying hurtful words... He hit me so hard I cried... he just laughed at me. I tried to just hold him and say that I love him. I carried him to the shower, to cool him off and get him to calm down... but no. I feel so small... My entire body is red after the beating.

Nina,

I'm so sorry. I know how awful it can be.

You do have the knives hidden -- don't you?

My daughter struck me, but not to the extent Gustav is abusing you. My daughter cut me on one occasion, and on several other occasions I danced around the kitchen with her, when she grabbed a knife.

(((((((((((((((((((((((Nina))))))))))))))))))))

Love,

EJ

I dont know what advice to give as i dont know enough on the subject. However, i hope you can stay safe and that your husband was able to help. This must be a very hard thing to live with. Take care of you

Something more needs to be done, you can't continue to take this abuse (((hugs))

Sky... we are getting help... but not enough! We're waiting to get more support... but it takes time. We will see his psychologists tomorrow. He's in child therapy every monday. We're going to a meeting with several persons about my son and what to do, on thursday.

Thanks everyone for your caring words!!!!!!!!

Nina - Oh my! I missed this thread. I am sorry.

You poor Mom - please know that this is absolutely not your fault!!! I do know just how much you love your children.

I don't really know what to say except that I really feel for you and I wish you, your son, and your family did not have to suffer with this.

All my thoughts are with you!
