Hurting the Child, Gaining the ??

His dad randomly decided to stop and visit. He did not consider Alex's plans or feelings, and then Alex in such a hurry to see his dad got all excited. Of course I could not say no.
Again, Alex comes home late, no meds, swollen knee (did I mention he re-dilocated it), and hopped up on violence and mad because when his dad made decisions based on self, he hurt Alex.
I really really want to know why some "adults" feel the need to hurt the children they say they love? Child Abuse runs rampant through our streets, a father embezzles everything from his childrens trusts, uses them to gain what??
Living with Alex is not easy, sometimes we have to choose and its hard to not engage in the war. But how do you gently point out to a child of 15 with the thoughts of a 10 year old, it was not about seeing him, but protecting his assests.
How it breaks my heart to see the abuse, and know you are fighting it, but having to maintain a smile for the child..
