Yesterday my 5 yo DS was injured by his best friend, they were playing nicely together then his best friend had an idea to do something dangerous, I said not to do it but his friend pushed him resulting in my DS falling and injuring himself. The injuries were serious enough to need an A&E visit. I know that both my son and his best friend are only 5 years old and his best friend would not have meant to hurt my son but every time I look at my son and see his injuries I feel so much rage towards his friend and I feel guilty. I don't want my son near his friend at the moment but I realise that this is punishing my son (and myself as I am close with the other child's parents) but maybe this is what I need to do to keep my child safe? The other child is very bossy and has always had a bit of a spiteful side but they have grown up together and love each other like brothers. I feel like I have let my child down.
I am sorry for that ramble, I just feel so sad and angry at the moment.
