How would you feel if your dh called your ds the C word?

My ds is 18 and very sweet but quite scatty. He has adhd and can be very forgetful, even for a teenager.
Recently he forgot a couple of family members birthdays and was given some money to buy something, which he then forgot to do. He did eventually give the money back and apologised.
My ds was furious and called him the C word in front of me and our daughter (she's 20) he then sent him a stream of texts saying if he carries on he's out the house.
Now, I understand him being angry to an extent, but I think calling him the c word is a step too far. My daughter agrees, but what do you think?

Verbal abuse from a parent can be so damaging to a young lad that age. He should fucking know better. Big apologies from H to S or I'd be sacking him.

You tell us your H has ADHD like that is an excuse... surely it would be more reason for him to recognise it wasn't your sons fault, even if it came after, he'd apologise.

He's a scumbag. And you are trying to excuse it. If you weren't, you'd have been kicking him out rather than posting on here.

YANBU that's abusive and unacceptable. That would be it for me. I hope your son is OK.

The only cunt in your family is your bully of a husband.
