[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 492119, member: 1233"] I think you hit this one on the nose. There were those who flat out didn't believe that Wiz EVER hurt me physically because I advocated for him so much and so emphatically. I had other parents ask me why I would ever advocate for help or special anything for a child who kept hurting me? I stopped trying to explain to them because it was clear that their Point of view was that "my child would NEVER and if he did then he would be GONE from my family the FIRST time he did it". Not only did I not believe those parents would do what they said, I also didn't care what they thought because they were not in control of my child. I think the PO may honestly think that if difficult child "really" hurt you then you wouldn't care what happened to him. SOOOOOOOO Wrong a way to look at it, but some have that mindset. I wonder if someone from the domestic violence center could help advocate for whatever is in difficult child's best intersts? It is CLEAR that PO just want to control you, at least it is clear to me, and maybe someone from a DV center might open up doorways or at least minds/hearts? [/QUOTE]
