I believe that my wife has got anger management issues for quite a long time (apparently I am not the only one who thinks that way). At some point, she used to yell quite a lot (imho) on our first 2 kids when they were about 3-5 years old. To be fair, that was about the time when our 3rd child was diagnosed with a very rare genetic condition, which significantly impairs her cognitive and motor development, so it definitely took a toll on both of us. But still, I was really, really scared by the way she talked to our sons, I really feared that it would scar them for life. So I sent an anonymous message to the CPS. They did not do much (we talked to them for about 1 hr and that was it – they could not prove anything) but my wife did get pretty shocked by that – and maybe that got her to think twice about her behavior. Anyway, no one knows about what I did.
