I'm finding it hard to believe this is a completely one-sided temper tantrum by your daughter, with no catalyst. Every action has a reaction and I think this is her reacting to something.

Perhaps your parents have an answer for you since she seemed to find their home a safe haven and probably opened up to them about what is causing her to act out?


It doesn't matter how aggrivating a teenager can be. No one should put their hands on another person. Your husband choked your daughter out of anger and frustration, and even if you both believe it was well-deserved, it is not the correct way to handle the situation, and it is also ILLEGAL.

I agree with WC.. counciling, both individual counciling for you, your husband, and your children as well as group counciling somwhere down the line when you are all ready, would benefit your family greatly!
