[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 501476"] I am sorry you are going through this....and I hope somehow your friendship is strong enough to weather this. In some ways I think she is right she wants to stay out of the conflict between your two difficult children. You are both hearing different stories from your difficult children and each of your inclination is to believe your sons. My guess is both boys are not telling each of you the whole truth.... and you are both inclined to protect your difficult children. It seems like there are two choices here... 1) is to agree to accept that your sons are both somehow at fault and not telling the whole truth and let it go and just continue your friendship. 2) That you get together and both let each other know what you are both hearing, with a very open mind, without either of you blaming the other boy. I think this can be very very tricky. My guess is she knows her son is capable of violence but didn't want to hear about it from you, even if you called her with the best of intentions. She may be really sad and uncomfortable too... I think if it was me I would call her and tell her you really care about her and don't want to lose her friendship just because your difficult children can't get along right now... and then go from there. Good luck. TL [/QUOTE]
