[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 354198, member: 8405"] Hugs for you (((((((((((((Katya))))))))))))) I've told people for years the ONE person I WILL NOT keep secrets from is the man I married. (You would be amazed at how many people feel they are entitled to that privilege!) I encourage you to not allow your son's bullying guilt you into keeping his letter a secret from your husband!!!!!!! Regarding our difficult child's we've been encouraged by many professionals that most "children" hold their parents on such a high pedestal and believe they know everything and can do no wrong. "adolescence/early adulthood" Is where they realize the perfect parent's aren't so perfect after all and don't know everything. This is a stage of development where in some young people the pendulum can swing the complete opposite direction and where letters or outbursts with messages similar to what you have received are sent with much venom. Sharing the advice that was passed on to us... "don't take it personally!" I'm trusting in the proverb that when we train our children right when they are small, they will do what is right when they are old. The whole middle section is not mentioned in that proverb.... In the meantime, I'm waiting eagerly for our kids to get old!!!!!!!! I have heard from one source whose family is on the victory side of a letter like you have received, that they all genuinely laugh about it now!!!! Hang in there momma!!!! You and your sweetheart are supposed to ride off into the sunset together. You will need each others support during this difficult time of letting your little birds fly and make a life for themselves. [/QUOTE]
