[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 545753, member: 14557"] Terry and Witzend, you are probably right. She will notice I'm not behaving like I used to towards her. But something good in the non-confrontational culture around here; it is unlikely she will ask. She may wonder, she may ask from someone else what is wrong with me, but she probably won't ask me and I don't need to decide what I would answer. There are few good reasons not to answer her in any honest way: [INDENT]- This is nothing to do with our work or workplace. - This is an old thing, she was a child. - difficult child told me about it with expectation of confidentiality. [/INDENT] If she has given the incident any thought now as an adult she has to understand how bad it was herself, even if difficult child doesn't seem to really get it (they pushed difficult child to water and didn't let him up to dock again. Place is so that you can get out from the water only from certain places, next one was about 200 feet away and while it would not had been that big deal if it had been summer (difficult child was already a good swimmer), it wasn't. It was early spring, difficult child had lots of clothes on and the water was literally freezing, ice had only just melted. So they really got lucky that difficult child didn't get a cramp or been unable to swim with all those clothes on. There was nothing they could had done to help him if things had gone wrong.)
