No it doesn't. The OP is concerned for his children.
Well apparently hes not concerned for his children.He avoids her
He is more concerned with her
So it should be in the relationship posts, since he is asking advice about his wife, not his kids..
I'm sorry but if you don't think women hit kids then you are delusional. If anything, the fact that she is at home with them all day, with the fact that she is home all day with them appearing to be the catalyst, should be even more of a red flag.
And I do actually have plenty of experience with domestic violence. Particularly with those who stayed longer than they should because they thought their love would fix it all.
From the OP's words....HE asked for advice and has not been back.
HE is concerned. HE does not want his children to emulate her behavior.
Just because he hasn't been back doesn't mean that he's not here. He has talked with me privately via PM.

He is concerned about the effects of this on his children and their being raised by a woman who is setting such a bad example.
Thanks everyone for sharing. Sometimes it is hard to know what the "norm" is when you are stuck in a situation. From your responses, I have confirmed my belief that her behavior is not "normal" and should not be tolerated. I am considering a variety of options presented on this board and I am well aware of the risks involved with violence to the children.

Good to know you are still reading the thread
I know you are in a difficult situation, but remember, your kid's futures are depending on you to do the right thing now.
This behavior cannot be tolerated and you must do what you have to end it. Best of luck.

I can completely empathize with you not always knowing what the "norm" is when you are in a certain situation unique to you and your family. And what's "normal" for you, may not be another person's idea of "normal for them. I truly wish you and your family the best, and hope your wife gets the help she needs.
I had severe anger issues that started with pregnancy and since I was pregnant twice with 9 months in between, it was a hell of time until my youngest got 8 months old and I was finally diagnosed with a thyroid disorder.
Thyroid imbalance made me a monster - not depression, not PPD, not being a stay at home mom. I remember the swelling anger that I couldn't stop even if I understood it was not normal. A therapist or "let's have a talk" wouldn't help me, since it was hormonal imbalance. And it's so hidden, a person looks normal, so her instability *must* be a character flaw, -but it wasn't.

That's a good point. It could be a physical illness.
