[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 165852, member: 1233"] I am so sorry this is so hard for you. The people who worked with us before my son went to live with-my parents got the truth. Some of the people I have told that he lives with my parents because he is happier there. I have also used the line" I'm sorry, that is private to our family." Or just apruptly changed the subject and refused to answer. One or two people ahve even been walked away from, very very abruptly - simply because they were SO RUDE about it. My daughter told her 6 closest friends. The girls have been extremely close since first grade and one other has a similar situation with her bro. They are very supportive. I was open with one family about why their daughter couldn't spend the night, and then why she could suddenly. BUT I have known the family forever and the girls are "twins" in their minds and hearts - they even look alike and have the same birthday. I would figure out what you can be comfortable with and then PRACTICE saying it to yourself, even into a mirror, until you are comfortable and it comes out the way you want it to. I use this technique with adults AND with my kids when I need to bbe insistent and break a habit. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
