No clue what to do?!

...See more Need advice on how to communicate with my 12 year old son. He accidentally hit a girl with a basketball (he's still learning), she started a verbal attack on him and wouldn't accept the apology or that it was an accident. A "friend" (term used loosely) was in his ear and pushing him to do something, so he threw the ball at her hitting her on purpose this time. She then put hands on him and friends took her off. What do I do as a punishment for his response to peer pressure? He knows he shouldn't have hit her on purpose and he let his anger get the better of him. I took his phone away for the day but, is that enough? I don't want to seem like a pushover. I have a hard time disciplining my kids since my younger one is Autistic. TIA for any input. 👍

...See more I (38f) confronted my husband (39m) and he admitted to sending multiple messages out to "test the waters"/feed his ego. Claims he was bored and not thinking of the consequences. Obviously because he's probably been doing it so long and never been caught. During our discussion, he unwillingly admits during one of his chats, he said he wished he was single. Being that we are newly married (2022), I lashed out and beat him. I have never done that in my life, never even been in a fight. We've always discussed being violent towards each other as a hard deal breaker..... He now says we can sweep it under the rug. I apologized for my actions and told him that neither one of us is right but they dont just cancel each other out. I don't want to leave him but I don't want him to think everything will be ignored.

...See more I'm new here, thinking maybe talking to someone will help. My mental health has been declining FAST! Currently on meds for depression and anxiety but I don't think they're helping enough. I don't know what else to do....
