Is raising one's voice around a child really considered abusive?

That lady seems like a *****! Who gives her the right to threaten you? She must really suck at doing her job if she can't teach you the techniques for better communication. Don't worry about her! If she does call child services they will come and check **** out and see that your child is taken care of. Please they aint gonna take your kid cause you sometimes have loud agruments with your husband. if that was the case I think all of us would probably have our kids taken from us. Request a new threrapist and never go back to that one again. She seems like she's out to get you more than help you.
