My ex-husband is 45 yrs old. He's never been arrested in his life until June of 2006 and now he's been arrested twice for overdoing discipline on our 15 yr-old son. He is a devout Christian. He and my 18 yr-old daughter don't speak at all because of similar circumstances. My kids don't drink, do drugs, and are good kids. They smart off sometimes, they are lazy, and pretty messy. These things should be addressed, but his way is to scream, throw things, hurl insults and try to physically force them to do what he wants. They live with me full time and have no desire to see him at all. I hate for them to not have any kind of relationship with their father, but he has no remorse and "stands by his principles" no matter what. Bible scripture seems to get his attention, but so far all I've found is Colossians 3:21. "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged"
Can anyone think of any more?
