Just looking for a little guidance and advice I guess.
My 13 year old son was hit by another boy at break time he is ok and not hurt he didn't retaliate and dealt with it admirably apparently according to his school. My problem is that I'm a single Mom and I didn't get a phone call from my Son he called my brother and my brother went up to the school I got call from the school and they said that my Son had text me but at the time I hadn't received the text. I am upset because he got hurt but I'm also upset because I wasn't called and he rang my brother neither of them called me I just got a text from my brother telling me that my Son had been hit and to either deal with it or he would!
My Son called my Brother crying and my Brother was able to pop in to the school as he was on a half day I'm grateful to my brother for popping up but very upset that no one called me and as his Mom I feel I'm doing something wrong I can understand that being a 13 year old he doesn't want his Mom coming up to the school but I am still upset.

Would the school normally call you? Genuine question, as dd still little. I can empathise with you - your ds was upset and you wanted to be there for him. I wonder if he just wanted to turn to someone who could protect him, and please god don't think I mean you can't, but maybe he looks up to your brother is a male role model? Not assuming his dad isn't in contact or here, but I think you're lucky to have such a supportive brother and please don't think it's and reflection on you that he called him. He might have been frightened of what kids would say if his mum turned up at school, not realising your bro would do the same.
Is he all ok otherwise? It sounds like a really stressful situation all round
