[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 11482, member: 3211"] Steph, More hugs coming your way! It seems like your life just gets settled down from one situation - only to have another one come knocking on your door. I don't have any additional advice. I agree that you have to keep doing what you're doing - and sooner or later the troublemakers will (hopefully) get what's coming to them. When difficult child started in school and exploded in his first verbally abusive rages at the age of 5, the sd decided they wanted to meet with me - at our house. They referred the "school/parent liason" for the job. I was sick, hurt - and crazy over it. My mother just said "Jamie, let them come. You're not doing anything. Your home is not a factor. Your parenting skills are not a factor." Bottom line is, the "professionals" don't know us - don't know what goes on in our home - and don't know any more than we do why our difficult children do and say the things they do. Having said that, it is extremely unfortunate that because a referral is made, we are put in a position of defending ourselves, whether we deserve or like it. I am so sorry you are in that position again, Steph. I hope things calm down for you - I hope the people who put in the call get what they have coming to them - and I hope things stay calm for you for a good long time. [/QUOTE]
