[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 586551, member: 1550"] Aw, Suz. Nothing hurts a mother more than thinking about her child being hurt. Now I see why this is so unrelenting. After we found out that the child we had adopted had sexually acted out on our two younger kids...Sonic and Jumper...there was also nothing we could do to him and we also felt very angry at ourselves that we had not figured it out. And, trust me, this child didn't really care about being kicked out of our house so there was no feeling of justice at all. Besides intensive therapy, I used to take all of my pictures of that child and cut and tear them up and I did it with vigor and tears. I also amped up my workout program and let myself cry in my room when I felt I needed it. I also wrote letters to him that I could never send. In time, the anger ran it's course. The parent who called your husband sure has a lot of nerve. Did it ever occur to him/her that your son was impacted terribly by his son's behavior? I'm really sorry all this happened. I know how horrible and helpless it makes a parent feel. [/QUOTE]
