[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 455046, member: 1991"] I agree with you, keista. I think Jack is doing his best to cast blame further afield and to deflect/distract. A consolation (of sorts) - the sort of kids who fall for thus crud and who are hassling difficult child now, are also the sort of kids to be easily led into bad stuff later. So if they alienate themselves form difficult child (and vice versa) it actually better insulates him from their bad influences. Just keep congratulating difficult child on speaking the truth and being a better person than others are being. It WILL come back to bite the others - because if Jack is sexually acting out, he will need an outlet, and it will undoubtedly be from his current circle of supporters. And someone else will eventually put the puzzle pieces together. I saw easy child handle something like this - she was regularly being hassled by a (female) bully on the afternoon transport home. A good friend who should have stood up for easy child, failed to. easy child was telling me about it when she got home, when the phone rang - it was friend, apologising for not standing up for her. easy child was polite, but made the girl squirm. And I have observed as these girls have grown up - this friend has always tended to follow the crowd and compromise her principles in order to be accepted by the "popular" kids. As a result, she and easy child are on nodding acquaintance, but otherwise not in touch. And when I talked to the mother of this other girl, she has had difficulty settling to a career path, she can't make her own decisions. She's constantly seeking approval form others. While easy child makes her own choices and is doing much better in life. This other girl is a decent person, just confused and overly dependent on the approval of others. Marg [/QUOTE]
