Posted here for traffic really because I just - WTF?
My mum's an active alcoholic.
Yesterday we were stopped by the mum of one of DS's school friends who thought he'd been hit by a car. Her DC had been very upset about it and she was really pleased to see that he hadn't.
We were a bit confused but otherwise not desperately concerned, I mean, we're in a village, people get things mixed up.
Just had a knock on from the local pastor in tears. He'd been told that DS had actually been killed in this car accident. So he went and spoke to the source of the rumour (...which has no basis in fact whatsoever, no near misses, nothing) and she said it had come from my mum.
WTF do I do??? Because currently what I'm tempted to do is go round and punch her very hard...
