[QUOTE="klmno, post: 228388, member: 3699"] That's a tough one. I think you handled the situation very well, so I can't imagine that it was anything you did. It sounds like she could be having issues in her own house that she's trying to keep "hidden" for now or maybe she discussed things with her son and who knows what he might have told her. difficult child had a great friend last year- at least we thought. It was a friendship on a deeper level than what difficult child had experienced before so I was hoping it could last a long time. They got in trouble together- they went in a someone's shed, but didn't steal anything. Still, it was wrong, illegal, and they got caught and arrested. Both difficult child and the other boy's mother told me it was the other boy who initiated the incident. But, for whatever reason, the other boys' parents will not let him visit difficult child or let difficult child go to their house. The boy told my son that his parents can't stand difficult child. The boys are friends at school. The mom had said a couple of things that seemed odd to me on the phone during the "shed" period- I think something isn't quite adding up with them, either. Anyway, I think sometimes all we can do is try to take the high road, stay away, and maybe they'll figure out at some point that we can let our sons be friends and get together socially. It's tough on our difficult child's though- I don't know what to do other than try to console them some. We can't explain others' actions when they make no sense to us either!! I try to tell myself that sometimes, this could be a blessing in disguise! ps-I'm going to pm you later today- we are heading to the store right now. Another thought on this- I wonder if her son started doing this and she knows you'd have your eyes open to it. [/QUOTE]
