I feel absolutely terrible writing this like I’m the worst mother in the world but I don’t know who elseI can tell.
We were informed that he had hurt another child from the neighbourhood, DS denies it and claims that the other child had had an accident and that he had had nothing to do with it. The other child is much younger.
We have had problems with DS in the past, so this is not out of the blue, although it might also be clouding my judgement. I feel awful writing this but deep down I think that he did hurt the other child and that he is lying (again). DH got angry and told me to absolutely not admit this to anyone in the neighbourhood or if we will be spoken to. He insists that he believes DS but we have been here before and we both know that he lies a lot. We are addressing all of this but right now I’m struggling with the guilt and feeling like an absolute failure.
