Janie - more thoughts and prayers your and your family's way (especially your Grandson - what a man to want to be there for you!) I'm with Nancy and Lorie who are saying that something is wrong. I hope you find out what.

Janie, I'm sorry this happened to your family. There is help. Most likely your husband will be required to attend some type of domestic violence/anger managment counseling (the laws vary by state). Maybe he's a "slow cooker" and doens't discuss his feelings readily and if so, there could have been a build-up of pressure that finally exploded. I'm glad you're physically ok. It will take some time before you can trust again. Prayers for you and yours, Deb

Janie, more {{{HUGS}}} to you and to your sweet grandson. I'm glad at least that he was safe when it happened. It does seem really strange that this happened all of a sudden after years of marriage. It sounds like you did the right thing calling the police and I pray for peace and answers for you!

Janie,
I feel so bad for you. ((((hugs)))) to you, and prayers. I remember when I was young, my Dad had too much to drink (very rare), and he pushed my mom down. I'll never forget it, though to my knowledge he never did anything like that again. They've been married for 50 some years and are pretty darned tight. This doesn't sound like a typical abuse case. Just know that we all care about you.

Oh my gosh, Janie! I am so incredibly sorry that this happened to you. I am just in shock. Like others have said, we are here if you need us. (((((HUGS)))))
Janie, you are such an incredibly strong and intelligent woman. First, I'm sending many hugs to you! As I was reading your post, I was simply mortified and as I continued reading how you promptly put your safety and your grandson's safety first by calling 911, which, unfortunately, too many women would not do, I was just in awe of your actions. Then you proceded to reach out to others to let them know that they should not accept this behavior from others and to realize that there is help out there. What an amazing woman you are! In your time of peril, you are reaching out to others. I'm so glad you have the wonderful support system that you have and that you will find out everything you need to know about his situation and the best way to continue your safety and well-being. As everyone has already said, please keep us updated. Many prayers are being sent to you, and your husband so he can get to the core of his issues and heal.
Hugs,
Bam
