My wife attempted suicide and hurt me in from of my son

You know... you say your wife hits your leg in front of your son - but then you say "I'm not taking care of that kid" out loud in front of the same child.

You have NO idea who's kid it is until there is an actual test to prove paternity. If you are married under law its you that goes on the birth cert, then like an adult you go thru the legal process to remove it with testing. You dont get to disown a child without a test.

Next you claim your wife runs outside with a knife - and you just ignore it, then invite her to bed?

Then we call DCF and the finger pointing begins. At least the worker has more sense then a single person here because they finally do the adult thing and call for medical help.

Imo neither one of you should have these kids. They are NOT pawns for the war you have decided should begin. You are not a therapist - you don't get to coach anyone into remembering assault suddenly. Thats the job of the court and the child's attorney.

All the kids should be removed from both of you and with DCF involved i have no doubt thats what will happen.

I have zero sympathy for someone that lets suicidal behavior occur - then pushes it further by screaming out "that's not my kid" after you literally watched your wife and mother to your kids walk off with a fucking knife.
