[QUOTE="Fran, post: 37749, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>I was thinking about intimidating bullies that are sometimes a parent/spouse. If you are unable to go up against a bully, you have to go around direct confrontation and do something else. If you can't get the bully to let go, you may have to do something else. I don't know the ins and outs of this particular couple. Imagine if you are married to a bully. He/she will not back down and is like a dog with a bone. He/she will not admit defeat. You divorce but he/she uses the child as the vehicle of continued harassment. You can not get him out of your life and still protect your child. The courts insist on letting the parent have access to the child(rightfully so)Unfortunately, there is constant brow beating from the bully but you are finally resolved to not back down. How do you combat the private humiliation that a bully needs to go on? Maybe shining light on the bully and bring it into the light is the only way to let others see what you and your child deal with on a regular basis. It deflates the bully's power. I disagree that all parents talk like this to their frustrating child. It's simply not so. Talking angrily or being frustrated is different than trying to break a 11 yr old down. Threats are ugly to anyone but intimidation and threats to a child is bullying and not frustrated parent. On the other hand,in this case, the mom may be trying to humiliate a man who won't back down(for whatever reason). Like I said I don't know the ins and outs of this situation but I just asked myself why would a very private parent air this sort of ugly dirty laundry? My first thought was that maybe it was the only way to shine a light on the ugliness this child lives with. The scars on this 11yr old are probably already there from years of parenting dysfunction due to divorce. I was just putting myself in their shoes. </span> [/QUOTE]
