[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 621495, member: 17269"] I totally get wanting to move. I hope you don't need to do that. Because it is he who is full of hate and malice, not you. When my (then) difficult child daughter brought a water bottle full of vodka to the end of year class trip in 8th grade..one of her friends got alochol poisoning and had to be extracted from the tree house he had climbed to to drink in secret. My daugher, he, and a few others were in danger of being expelled from their select admissions high schools. None of the kids were allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony. We were completely ostracized. Only one family called to invite difficult child/easy child daughter over the whole summer. Her entire social networking page clicked off, one by one. 2 years later I was at a party, and I was introduced to a kind looking woman...in response to the introduction, she said "you don't know me but I know you" I smiled politely and asked how and she said "my son was part of the collaterol damage from your daughter" (he had gotten drunk too, and not been allowed to walk in graduation). She was venomously angry. Towards me. A lot of people were. My difficult child son used to ring our neighbors doorbells and ask them for money. He also used to go to my favorite restaurants, or restaurants run by friends of mine, and ask for food or money. They would call me, awkwardly, and ask what to do (with the undercurrent of "please make him stop doing this, it is bad for our business to have a smelly homeless man walk in...we would call police but can't because we like you....) Once I got to work and difficult child was passed out on the couch in our elegant class-enclosed reception area. Stinking dirty and unconscious. The receptionist said he had asked to wait for me, and she didn't know what to do. Parents of difficult child' s suffer endless and unpredictable humiliations. All the more important that we develope strength in ourselves, in who we are, in our other relationships. As we are doing here, learning through each other. It really helps. Thinking of you and your family today. Echo [/QUOTE]
