It sounds like you have really taken control of the situation with J. He does sound like he has anger issues. Any chance he is doing anything about his anger issues? Anger management of any kind? Or does he just assume he doesn't have any issues and all is fine?
Yes, it sounds like he is running your kids off. He is doing it to himself.
Ice cream and chips and salsa for breakfast??? Wow. Thats a new one on me. Worst case scenerio if I don't have the proper breakfast, I have been known to make toast with peanut butter on it for breakfast or just stop and pick the kids up something. But usually I have breakfast covered.
It doesn't sound like he is putting much effort into the well being of the kids.
