My son is 17 and he locked him in the closet and I found out from my son that he hit him too but I confronted my husband and he said 'What's different between that and and a time-out?' But everyone here said it was abuse.... What to do?

Seventeen is not a kid, If he got nuts or swore at him maybe it was better than to beat the crap out of him. At 17 He knows everything and can get out of line for a test to see how far he can go and get away with it. There are two sides to each story. Besides it sounds like you are looking for a reason to dump the guy

There is a very big difference between a time out and locking someone in a closet. One is abuse the other can be used as a positive parenting tool or young children...17 may be a little old.

if there has been any instance of him hitting your son, the best thing that you could do is get away from the situation, and if your son is 17 he should be able to delt with in other ways than a time out other than being locked in a closet or being hit. leave him

What did your son do? How long was he locked in the closet? What do you mean by hit? Was it a slap on the butt, a smack on the arm, a punch in the face? What?? Your son is 17 years old right? Almost an adult. I am sure there is much more to this story.
You are only giving very minimal info, it's up to you if you think it was justified or not and whether it warrants a break up.

Are you serious?!?! Well, this probably isn't the best place for advice like this. I mean, does it happen a lot, how long have you been married, does he hit you, the other children, was he locked in there all day or 5 mintues? I think you really need to be talking this out as a family. Or with a counselor.

Was it a spanking or was it really a hit, like with a fist? Either way, only you can make that decision. My child comes first. You have to consider, your son is 17...I would sit down and talk to him, he is old enough. A 17 year old shouldn't be getting spankings or time out, he is old enough for grounding.

i think so undesirable for you because of the fact i'm interior an identical boat as you. I even have been in a bad relationship for two decades. The longer you wait to end it, the greater good it will be. for the reason which you finally end up thinking that there is not the rest obtainable for you. And it in no way gets greater beneficial... time heals all wounds. Dont finally end up bitter and previous and caught like me.

Why would he do this? How often has this happened? If you are thinking of leaving it must be more then once. I would but everyone is different and you need to know the whole story. I never wanted anyone to hurt my children being a child that was.

Girl let go he is not worth it and one thing is beating on you which shouldn't be acceptable but another thing is touching kids. Your son is 17 he can comprehend when you speak to him there is no need for him to place a hand on him.

if he is going to treat your kid like crap then leave him....your son will blame you for everything your man does...your son will think that its your fault and you are letting this man do these things, you HAVE to stand up for your son!
