[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 55797, member: 3837"] Im so sorry! I know how scary CPS can be. I also know how husband's can be perceived by our kids. Mine is loud, so to the kids he can seem like a monster when hes angry. Hes a big man too, so that in and of itself is scary. Its amazing how their little minds work though and how easily they can twist things. I can be right there and we'll talk about it later and their story is different than reality. Plus, my difficult child's are drama queens, so add that to the mix and it can get blown way out of proportion. I read some joke a long time ago from a teacher, I only remember this part though, that the kid told some awful story and she went to the parents, and their response was, "How about, if you don't believe everything you hear about what goes on at home, we won't believe everything we hear about what goes on at school?" Its so true most of the time, although there are times when a child speaks out, it was warranted. I'm amazed at the stories my 3 year old makes up, fortunately none about abuse, but still, if she can make up this stuff, I'm sure she could make up other stories. Hang in there! When CPS was called on us, I just urged my kids to be honest and told them I would do the same. It all worked out in the end and nothing was found. It is just such a scary thing to go through on top of our daily lives that aren't typical and certainly aren't easy. I'll be thinking of you! [/QUOTE]
