Hello all & TY

Hi everyone, I wanted to say thank you so much for the feedback from last night (needed answers quickly about my teen hitting me in my PM) The doctors did an EKG right away, it looked good.. they called Boston Scientific, and BS ran a test... GAWWW I hate those things... I went very dizzy for a moment, and then pain set in..weird!!! BS said everything checked ok.. do a Xray... so we got an Xray and found that while she elbowed me in the site... it DID move it quite a bit!!! It tore the pocket actually. The docs were concerned about hitting a lung or whatever.. but that was all good. :) BUT the tear in the pocket is not good, altho it will heal on its own, it leaves me open to damaging a lead easier than before..almost like a brand new implant!!! UGHHHH.. my husband and family were really oushing me to call the police, but I did not... fear of CPS, or things like that getting involved. However, if she EVER goes balistic like that again...she will be in a squad car before she can blink. I will NOT tolerate this. So far she has been hiding in her room all evening...if she comes out, a mere glare from me, is all it takes. She returns to her room.

This was terrifying!!!! not the fight, but the idea that she would go for the PM..wow. But I am alright, nothing a little vicodin wont help and COMPLETE rest for 2-3 days, aaaannnnd back to no lifting anything over 10 lbs.

Thanks again my friends.

glad to help

I'm so glad it's nothing serious. Take it easy and allow yourself to heal and maybe when things settle down try to sit down with your daughter and talk about all of this

The impact to the PM site wasn't worse & that you'll be on the mend in no time.
I agree with your others that counselling is a good idea.
While raising teens is no walk in the park at times, physical violence should never be tolerated. This is something they learn from an early age. (or should learn) Maybe you could talk to a school counsellor?
Best of luck to you.

Dealing with the situation

Having raised 2 great kids myself I can understand how things can get out of hand. In that teen time they are as effective as an adult in inflicting injury, but haven't developed the emotional stability to withhold it. My wife and I never got into a physical fight with either of the kids, but there were times when things got pretty hot.

I agree with tsimbrow that it would be a good idea to have a talk with your daughter and try to understand how things came to the point where she hit you. I am concerned about the situation you have now. For her to hide in her room and receive a glare from you if she comes out is asking for disaster. A cornered animal will eventually come out fighting or run away, and the outcome could be much worse than has already happened.

You may need to see a private counselor for a few sessions together to clear the air.

good luck,

frank

Good news

have you considered family counseling? Rather than wait for something to happen again (hope not) might be a good idea.

Much luck,

Janet
