[QUOTE="Malika, post: 490290, member: 11227"] No, no, post away :) Nothing you have said offends or distresses me - interested to have other points of view. We always find outselves up against the limitations of this kind of communication, I think - when I described J's "underlying propensity to violence", it sounds judgemental in some way, as if I am writing him off as a mini-hooligan. But in fact I meant it neutrally... J has always been very interested in the imagery if not the actuality of violence. The stories he likes and wants are ALL concerned with boys killing giants, giants killing boys, monsters eating people, etc :) I think he is definitely a dominant sort of character and this attracts some people to him, and repels others... he probably is a hunter/protector, yes.... exemplified by a walk we went on yesterday during which he found a big stick that he then brandished at imaginary foes during the walk, accompanied by fierce cries and shouts, and then, at the end, insisted on going ahead to give me his hand to help me up a steep bank...
