[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 168616, member: 45"] Witzend - husband can be very pigheadead. Did I mention that he told the first investigator that had difficult child not currently been in counseling we would have never reported it because he thought it was normal behavior for a boy his age and we had handled it within our family? That's it - tell the investigators that we think this is normal and that we wanted to keep it a secret. I'm sure that will help! Susie - thank you so much for sharing your story. It is so helpful to see that others have gotten through this. The kids are going to get individual therapy and sibling therapy once the investigation is complete. Therapy for me isn't in our very tight budget although difficult child's counselor has offered to help if I needed it. I've been talking with her a little. Once difficult child starts his therapy his current counselor said there will most likely be family involvement. Do the investigators come back to check on things? I'm not sure what would take 30 days for them to complete the investigation. We have a couple of things we have to do (install a lock on daughter's door, put the alarm on difficult child's door), will they come back to make sure we did that? No one has talked with difficult child yet either, and I'm not sure they will. It sounds like you're making things work rather well when faced with a tough situation. I do count my blessings that this seems like a one-time incident that was interrupted before something even worse could happen. Our daughter seems to be handling it well (except that she is really embarassed to talk about it with anyone but me). She is not acting like she is afraid or intimidated or nervous around difficult child. The counselor said she doesn't seem at all traumatized and we should see no lasting effects. The therapy she'll receive will make sure of this and will help her handle his bullying ways and help her should he (or anyone else) try anything again. I just wish husband would get over himself, quit trying to convince himself that difficult child is perfectly normal, and get on with it. But, that may never happen. [/QUOTE]
