[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 441012, member: 1991"] Well done, Malika. And her saying, "It happens to all parents at some stage" was twofold - first, it's the closest you will get to an admission and an apology. Second, it was a coded message to say, "Don't tell me you have never hit him that way!" which would actually have been an attack. Some people, when they feel backed into a corner, will lash out rather than roll over. That did go very well. And you are right - she knows you know, she does NOT know it was J who told you, so she can't assume that was how you found out. So she knows she has to watch her back and change tactics. You did well! And I am so glad she was more open than you expected. That was a bonus. Marg [/QUOTE]
