[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 558161, member: 7736"] We had an issue when difficult child was about 6 in which all the windows got broken out of a bus that was owned by the land owners (we lived in a mobile home park). Landowner came to me screaming and threatening to sue me for the windows/vandalism. I was furious. I laid into difficult child about how he knows better, etc. Come to find out the windows were broken out while difficult child was gone with grandparents for the week. I apologized to difficult child and told landowner I expected an apology from him and that difficult child deserved one too. Of course no apologies were given. difficult child was always the scapegoat when it came to that a*****e. He didn't like the fact that I always stuck up for my child. He didn't like the fact that I wouldn't bend over and kiss his ***. Okay, so it was me he didn't like and difficult child took the brunt of his wrath. Any time anything happened he would come to me irate. 99% of the time difficult child wasn't involved and I could prove it. The other 1% of the time I couldn't prove difficult child wasn't involved and although I KNEW my child didn't do whatever it was he was accusing him of I had to put up with his ****. I am so proud of J stepping up (unlike most children his age, even with parental cajoling) Tell him a person he's never met and will never meet in MN said he's a great boy and even great boys make mistakes sometimes. That he'll remember next time what happened and be the bigger person by stopping it from happening or being involved in it. edited for spelling [/QUOTE]
