My husband hurt my two year old

Bekah

Another update:

CPS is coming to our home tomorrow. We called our local child protection center for guidance. They said it didn’t need to be reported and gave us resources. My husband is in counseling. He’s trying really hard to take care of us. Doesn’t make up for what he did. But at least he’s putting in effort to change. Cps will do a home assessment. Now I’m out here busting my ass trying to get this apartment cleaned. It’s a safe place for my kids. But we just moved and I have open boxes that have to be unpacked. Just trying to keep it together.

UPDATE: he’s to not be alone with the kids. He’s going to counseling. He’s apologized. He’s said he will prove himself a man of integrity and be a better man.

I’m VERY cautious. Like… I’m still contemplating leaving. But right now we are safe. I’m actually talking to a counselor for guidance.

My husband shook my two year old daughter out of anger. She was throwing a fit-he picked her up, shook her while sternly saying “what do you want?!?” I saw the whole thing happen. We talked and he said he needs help and counseling. Which is a good start. I told him he can’t be alone with the kids. I have 2 kids-2 year old and 5 month old. He is their father. What should I do? I’m scared this will escalate. He’s never hurt any of us before. At least not that I know of… the only thing he’s done that makes me question his ability to be alone with the kids is that he got drunk while he was watching my daughter. No one else was around. Just him and her. I feel like this stuff happens often. But I don’t care. My babies and myself are safety is first priority. I just don’t know what to do from her. I feel terrible for my daughter.
