[QUOTE="Malika, post: 523981, member: 11227"] The trouble with this form of communication is that it is all too easy to misunderstand what we all say, or to put our own interpretation on it (more than we do anyway...) Personally I am not saying that Michele "has" to do any particular thing or that her feelings are wrong or bad. What I am saying, though, is that a four year old from what sounds like a very troubled background is not acting deliberately to hurt her or her son. "Evil" does not seem a very accurate or compassionate word to be using. Good heavens, if every child who behaved anti-socially or aggressively or provocatively were evil, this board would be full of the parents of evil children, no? Each member of this family is deserving of understanding and help, it seems to me, not just some members of it. I can feel compassion for her situation, I can feel compassion for her troubled stepson. I do not know what Michele "should" do; she is in a very difficult situation. But usually we do say children need protection and understanding, don't we? [/QUOTE]
