Hi All.

I’m new at this, new account. My wife kicked and hit my kid (12) repeatedly and hard. She’s also “slapped” my 7 year old. Additional lots of verbal abuse during schoolwork exercises to make them cry and shut down instead of actually learning or focusing on school.

I saw a priest today for reconciliation and he didnt help much; personally I take on too much ownership of problems but inaction is now too much of a problem for my family. I need to protect them.

Can anyone lay down a series of steps for me? I’m aware there’s a map with multiple bridges and if bridges get burned I can’t go back.

Help please. Thanks.
