[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478608, member: 12886"] I was thinking along these lines. Recently my niece snuck out to a party, long story but in the end my sneaky sisters were able to track down the house the party was at. Turns out to be a popular football players house. My sister (her mom) called a woman she knows in the party house neighborhood (niece is open enrolled in their district). As she talked to the woman, her voice and words suggested that she suspected HER son was at the party too. He had been spending lots of time there. Sure enough he confessed to what had been going on.... Now both are in deep doo doo. So the boys mom calls her fellow football parent/mom and the mom says, well one girl did show up already drunk.... (UMMM her son already confessed, they had jello shots etc.) So that means they were there the whole time. The whole football team could be ruined for this. Lots of politics and lots of denial going on. The boys mom is going to talk to her in person and warn her of the potential fall out, that they must stop hosting these parties (now found out this is a common thing for them and they cover up for kids by being willing to tell parents, yes, we are here supervising). These are 14-17 year old kids. Really uncool. Who knows why people are so weird. To not realize the cares of other parents. Especially these folks who are your "friends". I just wonder if he is pulling the wool over their eyes. Being sweet and perfect for them. Complaining about you....what is the word for that in psychiatric terms??? Triangulation. Teens and difficult child's are very good at that. Not an excuse, but if they have no experience with difficult child behavior, they may be really ignorant to these kinds of things. If I was in their position, I would reply right away and want to talk to you in person, I would draw a line no matter what--your parents are the bosses of you...(assuming no actual witnessing of abuse) and so on.... I am really sorry for your situation. It hurts when people we trust break that trust. [/QUOTE]
