Hey Maria...sending you love and hugs, I'm so sorry, what an awful day, sounds awful.

I can hear you blaming yourself, but reading that I was shocked. I often have been when you describe your H. I stopped short in the past saying it sounded like he needed anger management help. Clearly, he has a problem with rage. And the rage at your son was probably misdirected, transferred from the anger and frustration he feels towards you and perhsps more so, himself. Please done blame yourself anymore, your H, like Sara said has not been particularly nice to you, neverlone loving. He is not even like a friend to you.. he doesnt really talk to you, unless its about work/kids, he has been thoughtless with gifts, critical, mean, angry, shouting, I could go on.. Theres no excuse for today, he is a grown man and should NOT have lost control like that, he is the adult, he didnt need to be so cruel, he could've arranged timeout, but to throw away toys.. I cant think of anything a 7 year old could do to justify that. I think his actions today speak volumes about what sort of man he has become and the blaming you and shouting that you make him look bad is nonsense.. I cant help thikning that he is a bully.

Anyway, whats the use in H bashing? If you have agreed to divorce, I'm so sorry that this it has come to this.

Love Al xxxxx
