DS is 8 and has (well controlled) epilepsy - even so his epilepsy has made me deeply anxious about letting anyone else look after him. Anyhow, he's been invited to a party tomorrow without us. I don't know the birthday child's parents very well but they seem nice and DS is keen to go. If it was just at the house, that'd be ok but they 'may' take the kids (don't know how many) to the park or the cinema.
Now I'm starting to panic about DS being raped in the men's toilets at the cinema or being abducted in the park whilst the adults are chatting. I know I need to give him some space to develop and grow but this is so bloody hard for me. DH says I need to trust our son and believe in a benevolent universe - sadly due to personal bad experiences I always think the worst about every situation.
Pleae tell me that you'd let your DS go and that I am being a nutter. It would make me feel better :)
