Regarding the behaviour of my kid
My husband has anger management issues and is under medication but often skips it and fights a lot both at home and outside and even beat me up often which my 1.5 year old kid witness every time. My in laws also fights very often over petty issues. And recently me and my husband had a big fight and hence separated temporarily and living with our parents. Kid was with his father and in laws for few days and back with me now. I have 2 queries. 1. As my in laws have anger management issues and quarrels most of the times and with my husband's mental issues, Is it safe to let the child be with them for some time ex. Day or two which they demand for. Both the child and my husband are attached to each other. But I am concerned about the things my son would pick up from my husband and the in laws. 2. After he was separated from me by my in laws for the few days, I could notice that my son throws, bites, beats and kicks all the time. Is it coz of phase in the child's growth or due to separation
There are multifold challenges that you are facing. Sorting out the issues with your spouse and channelising the child's behaviour will be your top priority. Once these are resolved and you build a good bonding with your spouse; in-laws issue can be sorted out if your husband makes up his mind.
In this context, suggesting you to go for a family counselling along with your husband. Put all efforts to bridge the gap as you both separating will have very bad impact on your child's future. Don't tune your mind for permanent separation or divorce unless the situation is that bad and not livable together.

I understand your concern. Witnessing constant fights is not good for the mental health of kids. The same thing might be the reason as well for the tantrums you have mentioned. However more clarity is needed. For your son's good you and your husband should immediately work on your marriage. I would be more than happy to help you with that. My clinic is at OMR chennai. Some counselling and therapy sessions might be useful for you all.
