[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 598542, member: 14557"] I missed your post Hound Dog, sorry. The reason we can't actually tell the truth point blank or take a stance that it is, what it is and we are not embarrassed is, that those things are not ours to share. And even admitting those parts that for example everyone in that meeting likely already knew could bite us/difficult child to a**. Our lawyer was firm on not talking about certain things anywhere that could be considered public. We have very different publicity and privacy laws than yours and difficult child is protected by those in some important ways (for example any media can't publish his private life issues with his name. They have done it without names and they hint, but they can't publish certain claims and difficult child's name together, or we could, and would, sue and it does make a difference especially for his later life and career after he leaves sport.) Talking publicly about his troubles could in some point cross a line of giving permission to publish them. Better safe than sorry. I asked later if husband had felt the same cattiness than I with other dads. Not quite as bad, but he had been uncomfortable. And that tells a lot. You have to understand that husband is like fish in water in these type of meetings. He has been very involved with easy child's sport and former club team, has gotten awards for it, is very enthusiastic about the sport. And more than that, he is extremely social and likes all kinds of social gatherings, enjoys meeting new people and get to know people. He really likes parent meeting like thingies. If he was uncomfortable, he really had to feel cattiness too. It stinks! These should be adults and parents, being catty about other people's troubled child who has done absolutely nothing to them personally, or anything so morally disgusting that they should care, is rather low if you ask me. I do hope again, that it was mostly a situational and not all those parents are really jerks. After all, my easy child is spending quite a lot of time with their boys. [/QUOTE]
