[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 380511, member: 3444"] In our house, it's called "waiting for the other shoe to drop." Does your son see a psychiatrist yet? It's possible the events that led up to the "push" were not seen by the other parent and what happened was interpreted as a push -- and obviously as you said, the teacher got this second hand and did not witness it. I'd be skeptical of accepting another parent's interpretation because they often get it wrong with our difficult children. That happened a lot with my two difficult child's. There was usually some trigger that the adults around them were not attentive enough to catch, but invariably all they saw was my difficult child reacting to that trigger, and so therefore HE was the instigator. That's a very hard thing to cope with when you have a child that's got impulse control issues to start with. The fact that your son was so outraged by the accusation tells me that he really did not "push" the other student intentionally. Kids that young are rarely able to pull off a complex emotion like that if it's not real. It's important that he knows YOU believe him and that you will serve as his advocate in getting the story straight with the other adults involved. You're the only one in the situation with his best interest at heart. [/QUOTE]
