    After my last post I got a call from my dad, a boy who I mentioned before punched him again but in his face leaving a mark and I wasnt involved. I raced home and found not only that but he was spat on. Vile!!!

    I went to school and met with head first thing this morning, it was two separate incidents the spitting was first in morning and my boy had pushed a boy and he got spat on and teachers dealt with it and second one he told noone. I am very unhappy but my boy was all confused and mixed them up and now I am beginning to be concerned about possibly his communication and it broke my heart but to agree that they can have someone test him. I want to be able to have him looked at and either he is young or if there is something wrong or a delay it being sorted. I feel like such a failure though its literally tearing me apart. The head said a psychologist will meet me first and ask few questions about my pregnancy and now I feel maybe it was me being so depressed and terrified leaving house that has caused him being like this or something. I feel i failed my son.

    Sorry to go on just noone to talk to right now. I have not told my dad I agreed to this as he will go nuts and sees nothing by my boy and nor do i, but I want to have this done for his benefit, he fills you with bits and drabs of things and maybe that is just cos hes young but I want to know, I need to know. My mum agreed with me on this.

    6 days to payday and feeling like and looking like s*** xx

  • Aww, don't beat yourself up, you sound like an amazing mom to your boy. Hopefully they will just agree that he is young. My 10yr old boy is also very young in his ways etc.
    I know as a parent its hard not to blame ourselves for every little thing that goes wrong.
    Hoping it all turns out okay for you

    School phoned, they found the boy who has been bullying him, they have took away any priviliges he gets for next couple weeks and have sent a letter to his parents to come in, with a warning if next time will be suspended. The relief of this is overwhelming for my boy but also the injustice that they did not believe him and it had to be marks on his face before they believed him!?

    I only agreed to the test to rule it out as in my eyes he is perfect and will be always regardless of results and cd even come back normal and just so young.

    got my money for survey £15 added to holiday fund xx

  • Oh Monz, in a way that's a great relief. It is a shame that your poor lad had to go through all that before the school took action.


    Understand where you are coming from re the test :)


    Yay to a pay out :D
