[QUOTE="seo, post: 599811, member: 16528"] I do have so much regret for having to send him to live with his dad at age 13, I just didn't know what else to do. he had said many threatening (harm) to me before but the last comment he made was " if I ever punish him(I do not remember what kind of punishment was spoke of then) he would stab me with a knife (and he made the stabbing gestures with his hand). At that point I was afraid to sleep with him in my home with my daughter... I was and probably still on the soft side as far as having to discipline....(although my daughter has rarely had to be disciplined.) My son on the other hand I didn't discipline as much as I should have and honesty when I did it would only escalate the situation and it was very exhausting. He had been to psychiatrists earlier, but he would never want to talk to them. Anyway, I was a little reserved to say that I sent him to live with his dad those many years ago, Because I was afraid of being judged negatively here...but my story runs deep with my son, as I am sure it does with a lot of people... Now all of this has me thinking back to up to age 4 years old,,,my sweet kind so sweet little boy who would give me hugs and kisses. He changed tho as soon as he started school...kindergarten --always I was finding notes from teachers with frown faces on them, I would find the notes tucked away in his bookbag and in his toy box.
