[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 506566, member: 59"] I'm sorry I completely misread that so ignore my ignorant response lol. That is all very strange and yet a bit similar to our situation. We were friends, not good friends but neighborhood friends, who participated in neighborhood get togethers with the parents of the boy difficult child went to live with when we kicked her out. However over the years they began enabling our difficult child and hiding her from us. Obviously they believed we were monsters and they were going to protect her from us. The fact that we were respected and well liked in the community obviously made no difference to them. They still believed our difficult child and ignored our pleas and eventually refused to even talk to us. I continue to ask myself today why they did that. We found out he is also a pot smoker and heavy drinker and probably an alcoholic. So my guess is that if he admitted we were right and difficult child was wrong he may have to admit that he too was wrong. And obviously his wife was too weak to go against him. I don't know why these parents would believe your difficult child over you and forget your friendship. Maybe they feel a little guilty and think you blame them for your son's decline. But there is no excuse for people behaving this way. We are all parents trying to do the best for our children and no other parents should interfere with that period. If they think you were abusing your son they could have called 911. Anything short of that they should have backed you as his parents. Nancy [/QUOTE]
