It happened
Quote From: poetmomSounds to me as if some family counseling might be in order, ASAP. Stepfamilies can be difficult to navigate, especially for parents with preconceived ideas about how boys or girls SHOULD act. Every child is an individual, and should be respected for who they are, not degraded because they aren't behaving like a "normal" boy or "normal" girl. We went to a dentist a few days ago with my son, but due to his previous experience with the dentist, my son was so afraid of the treatment that he just started crying. We tried to calm him down for an hour, but nothing worked. When we got out of the dentist office, my husband said "I'm sick and tired of you" (to my 6 years old son) and slapped him in the face. I stopped talking to my husband immidiately. And he tries to accuse me of making a scene. I'm lost! I don't know what to do!!!
