Am I overreacting?

I am a long term poster but have Nc. I need to know if I am overreacting with regards to Dh. DS2 can be hard work. A few months ago, we were on holiday, and DH became very cross with DS, resulting in him grazing DS 's face (photo 1) Dh maintains that this was an accident and his ring caught his face. A few weeks ago they argued and DH caused a slight scratch to DS 's face ( photo 2). This evening they argued over ipad use and DH scratched DS 's face, close to his eye. He said DS ran into his thumb. (photo 3). Despite the excuses I feel this is inexcusable, and am really concerned that all the scratches are in the same area, and his eye is very vulnerable. I am intending to act on this now, but tell me honestly if. I am overreacting?

So glad to hear that you have called SS. Please don't let your DS near that man ever again.

Why are you ignoring your DH abusing your child? I'm so sad for your child that you have let this happen THREE times.

April229 · 09/06/2017 01:24

Saddest thing is the tear you can see in your child's eye in the first picture.

Well done OP. Sounds like you have done really well. Must be very hard to believe this is happening.

We're SS helpful?

DS ran into his thumb. You KNOW you are not overreacting. Why stay with a man who is so unfortunate that he 'accidentally' keeps marking your son. What does he really have to do to get you to understand that he is DELIBERATELY harming your son? Chop him into little pieces????

Thinking of you and your son OP xx
