My eldest has had a difficult year and struggles with depression, anxiety etc, being assessed for ADHD and autism through CAMHS. Yesterday they met with a new team member and when they were asked about family relationships told them 'my dad's lovely but can be physically aggressive when he loses his temper'.
They then went on to describe an incident which happened in May. My eldest was being very challenging all morning and when my DH drove them to school they were screaming that he was a f**king pussy in his face in the car, and eventually he lost the plot and hit them on their arm.
This was obviously completely unacceptable and he picked them up early from school to apologise and discuss what happened. It seemed to resolve it. He has never hit them before or since and is mortified that it happened.
However, since my eldest described this to CAMHS the team there have reported it as a concern and we are now going to be investigated by police and social work.
Does anyone have any advice or experience of this? I feel like I'm drowning.
