How horrible for him and for you! We're lucky in our situation in that he's made friends through the Embassy community and in school. I'm hoping we get a good crop of kids in this summer, because the kids his age are leaving.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741222609583042393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634519777662854499.post-30454344903751200052011-02-06T20:45:05.767-06:002011-02-06T20:45:05.767-06:00Okay, I'm going to hit both this post and the ...Okay, I'm going to hit both this post and the post right above it...<br /><br />That is SO scary about your son! I hope everything turns out okay! I can't imagine how exhausted you are, and I'm so glad that you say that the medical care you have in your area is great - that's a relief.<br /><br />Let me just say this, and I'll try to couch this in kind terms, for as a mother you and I both know that we feel MUCH more strongly than this... I know *exactly* what it feels like to watch your child not be befriended by the other, local, neighborhood children. It is too, too painful for words. For many years, our boys were in this position, and it truly was the #1 most painful thing I dealt with as a mother. <br /><br />There were evenings, I kid you not, when my older son (when he was younger) would sit at the kitchen table with the cordless phone in front of him, staring at it, willing it to ring with an invitation to go play at a neighbor's house. Other evenings he would go to a neighbor's house and knock on the door and see that other kids were there, but he wasn't allowed in. I will never forget these painful exclusions and his tears afterward. Oh, how gut wrenching to watch your child be lonely and cry and be able to do nothing at all to help or fix things!!<br /><br />Oh, how strong my feelings were on this subject!! To watch your child not be included when they so desperately want to be is sheer torture for you as a mother, because you can't help but nearly hate (HATE!!) all involved, from the children who aren't friendly or form other cliques to their parents who don't care and turn a blind eye. Oh, my friend, I have been in your place and it is so incredibly painful. My heart goes out to you. <br /><br />As for our family, thank you so much for your kindness and understanding. <br /><br />I hope that your son feels better - I hope you get answers - I so very much hope that the friendship situation gets better. Hugs your way... parenthood can be so heart-wrenching sometimes... Hang in there...A Daring Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526170899156150772noreply@blogger.com
