I need some input. Today an incident occurred at my home that I have a bias in regard to. Our skids came just about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I know theres an adjustment period. But today, the SS12 slapped BD7 across the face - leaving a mark. He has been aggressive to her since they came but not like this. He and his brother (who copies him) has told her many times that he hates her and has swiped at her (little smacks) often. I am biased because I was married to an abuser who started it when I was just his "girlfriend" at age 14 and then his wife (total of 20 yrs of abuse).
