My 16 year old son loves video games. It’s excessive he stays up all night and he’s loud. Late last night my husband (his step dad) asked him to turn the game off it was like 3 in the morning. I heard my son get upset so I went to check on them. My son picked up a chair and hit my husband with it.
Which was a complete shocker because he’s never displayed this behavior before. My husband walked away and I took the whole console away and told him there was no more games for good and that he owes an apology because that’s definitely not how we deal with things in our home. I was so scared to the point I was shaking leaving his room.
I’ve never seen him act that way ever before. I went to check on my husband and his face said it all he’s. very upset about the incident, he said he didn’t want my son in the house anymore because he doesn’t feel safe. I apologized to my husband and tried to calm him down,but he kept saying if my son sleeps here tonight he’s leaving and he’s never coming back. My husband and I have been together for the last 10 years and we rarely argue. He’s really a good man, and they have such a good relationship. So I know my husband is really hurt and upset. I tried to convince him to have my son say, but he was adamant he didn’t want him in the house.
I had to take my son to my mom’s house for the night. So everyone could cool off. This morning, my husband’s still very hurt about the whole thing and I completely understand I feel bad myself. He said that he doesn’t want my son back in the house at all. And the whole situation is so stressful and makes me so sad and anxious.
