[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 586769, member: 15793"] I totally missed the part about the parent talking to husband and what was said and personally that just burns me. I'm sure you do have many feelings going on right now that you'll need to sort out, but seems to me that every drop of that rage is justified, too. On top of the obvious insult from them is the underlying one - that difficult child isn't a grown man with a mind of his own that will listen and obey whatever husband tells him. So if you spend some time separating out your feelings, go ahead and add rage to the list - and put it where it belongs, on the culprits and their enabling parents, not on you. You know as a parent you can't be there to protect your child from everything that happens 24/7. We can't put air mattress at the bottom of every tree in case they fall out, or prevent every splinter, every case of the flu, broken bone, hurtful words from peers at school, etc. We do the best we can to protect them, make them resilient, make them watchful of danger, and nurse them back to health when something does happen. Because life happens and ***holes happens. [/QUOTE]
