Hi,
I'm at a complete loss as to what to make of this, so any insights would be great. I don't want to go into too much depth, wish may not be helpful.
It relates to someone I know from an activity - we're friendly and happily chat away, but not what I'd consider 'real' friends in that we only see each other at the hobby. Some things over the last few months have raised some red flags and I'm not sure if I'm being silly or whether something could be going here.
Firstly, she's quite accident prone. I've never witnessed her having any accidents, or even being clumsy, but obviously that doesn't mean she's not. She'll sometimes have an injury akin to a bad ankle or wrist etc. Never any bruises, although she has missed a few sessions before.
She has told me about 'mortifying' things her child have said/done that to me are suggestive of witnessing or hearing abuse/abusive language.
My question is, if something were amiss at home, would someone volunteer that sort of information?
I think I'm probably reading too much into these things but I can't shake off the feeling something is off. In fact, it was someone else in the group who first suggested something might be wrong to me and I dismissed it at first. Am I now looking for things that aren't there? I was quite vehement at first but I'm really questioning things now.
