I can't add anything better than what has already been written. It's been a few days since this has been written so I hope the feelings have subsided. {{hugs}} I could feel your terror and anger.

I'm afraid that I would want to take it out on my husband, but like you said J was just oblivious. Hopefully, Gremlin will remember the fear he felt and the fear he saw in you and learn from it how to better react. STAY WITH MOM!! (unless otherwise directed by said MOM) I also like what Cheri said. God will help you forgive as well as know how to teach and learn from this. ~Jenny I’m so sorry for what happened and for what you’re feeling.

Right below her eye. He didn't purposely intend to hurt her but it was horrendous. She ended up at a plastic surgeon's office and now, thankfully, only bears a very small lead scar that she can cover up with makeup when she's older. My son had the AUDACITY to blame the entire incident on her. If she hadn't have made him mad he wouldn't have had to swing the pencil. I was crazy mad. Mad like you don't get at a child. Adult anger mad. I didn't know what to do either. The next day I was sitting in my chair and crying out to God about what to do with this mountian of anger. And His answer came to me in a flash and was one word. Forgive. Just the moment He whispered it on my heart, my son happened to come upstairs. I bawled and threw my arms around him and told him I forgave him for hurting his sister. And I felt much, much better. I'm sure there are people out there who told me I did the wrong thing. I should have punished him, etc. But this was an isolated incident. Never happened before and hasn't happened since (he's now 13). God told me what to do and He'll tell you what to do, too.
