Just that really.

My DC was kicking my DH. My DH was kicking back (playfully I guess). I got in the middle telling them both to stop and my DH then told my DC to kick me. My DC then started kicking me.

DC is only little (under 5).

Would I be unreasonable to leave him?

There is (obviously) a big backstory, but it is too long for a post. There has been other occasions where he has encouraged our DC to hit me.

They were play fighting? Why did you get in the middle? Why not just leave them to it?

but yes, if you get in the middle of a play fight then you’re involved. without the back story it’s impossible to know, but this doesn’t seem like marriage ending territory.

What is the background to this?

The backstory is important. It‘s absolutely abnormal for a father to encourage young children to hit and kick their mother. Something is very wrong here.

Absolutely leave him. Protect yourself and your child.
