Hi everyone, I know it's a lovely sunny day out there so thank you to anyone who takes the time to read/reply.
It started this week, I got a phone call from my DS nursery to tell me had told one of the staff I had hit him. He repeated the story later on to the same staff member and consequently they felt they had to refer it to SS. Now my DS has a VERY active imagination, and has been known to say similar about his dad, grandma. If you move his hand away from a hot/potentially dangerous area for example he will say 'don't you smack me' very temperamental sometimes.
Obviously I was absolutely heartbroken to get this call. SS visited last night and spoke to DS alone in his room - he told them mummy and daddy have never hit him, he isn't worried about anything and was generally being his usual excitable happy self. Our house is obviously a loving home, DS is so loved, well fed and dressed - we both love for him and it shows.
They are coming back in a couple of weeks to do an assessment of whether they need to stay involved - I just feel so distraught over the whole thing, really traumatised. I can't believe a comment from a 3 year old has led to this and I am so fearful now - that my parenting and love for my son is in question, I'm worried that I'm on some sort of register, what if he hurts himself in the future and we have to take him doctors/hospital, will they think I did it? I can't stop thinking the worst and this consuming me, I just really need some advice if anybody has been through similar :(
Thank you so much for reading if you got this far.
