you are going through a divorce that anything your child says or does is a cry for help?

Two neighborhood kids were picking on my son unprovoked telling him to not wet the bed, telling him that his mom is crazy and his dad is poor and one of them even said that he was going to stab him.

To fill you in, my son is 12 and the other 2 boys are 13.

Well he came home all upset. I called one of the boys' moms to say that her son told my son that he was going to stab him.

She came over my house with her husband, her son and the other boy that was picking on him.

She said that she does not buy my sons story that the boys just walked up to him without being angry at him or anything and said all these things.

She begged me to get my son help that he was a really angry boy from her observations and that he is making up stories to get attention. (she is a former social worker so it's the social worker in her that came out)

She knows about my separation and feels that if it wasnt her son, my son would be lying about another child.

So now that my sons dad is separated from me, my son is not credible in anything he says.

That means that her son and anyone else could do shit to my kids and if they say anything about it , no one will believe them because they are now from a dysfunctional home.

This is total bullshit!

They even accused the boy around the corner from me of making up things because he too is from a family of divorce.

I feel like my kids have to walk around with cameras to prove that they are being bullied.

" i know, that is so crazy. she is just placing blame on someone else so she doesn't have to admit that her little family is not perfect. what a bi.. you know if she was a decent person and was really concerned, she would have called you on the phone and voiced her concerns. she would not have ambushed you and hashed this out in front of the boys and her husband. sounds to me like your son would be better off without hers. hang in there, people like that have nothing better to do than be in everyone else's business.

" I don't like it one bit. Feeling tainted right now like no matter what, married folks are going tho think that we are such bad people and that we would lie about everything because we are hurting from the divorce. "

" That is awful! Im so sorry you had to deal with that woman. I would just remind your son that you believe him, and tell him to stay away from those kids, theyre is something seriously wrong with those kids, to threaten to stab him. "

" This is the hard part, she has offered so many times to help me out, we even walk every night.

I just wanted to tell her that her son is a liar and that she seems to think that her son can do no wrong but I can't because she is helping me know what I mean? "

" So sorry for you and your son! Whatever she thought of you and your son, she totally ignored the fact that her son threatened yours. You could have called the police and filed charges and she didn't even thank you for talking to her instead. Ungrateful b----!

People think I'm too aggressive nowadays too, but I'm doing all I can to make sure my kids learn to stand up for themselves. People have judged me unfairly too. My own sister has even made comments of how I treat my kids like I don't even want them around, like I'm such a bad mom bc I was separated and divorced now??? Geez, I never spanked them with a metal rod like she did her oldest.
