Ds1 at end of year 6. About to return from school camp and I cantface picking him up. Aibu to tell him to pull his wheelie case 400 yards to meet me away fromthe other parents? Or just suck it up. I have no friends , they all know each other and one in particular is always telling her ds how much she hates us( her ds and mine are good friends oddly enough) never spoke to her but she is in the click and they stand and snigger at me.she even tried to get my son expelled in year 3 after a fight between our kids, no one was hurt but she has harrasses me for years and kids go to up to same big school in September.
I am all alone and have mh probs and suicidal, dont know what to do. I dont bear her any grudge but none of them like me anyhow. I drop ds up road from school so dont go in playground. I just hate it so much and dont want to go to sports day or year 6 ball either. Not sure if suicidal because of this and constantly think of this woman's hate of me and my son. Sat in ds2 nursery carpark and feel so tearful.
On 40mg of seroxat so dont want to go to gp as nothing he can do. Dh dead years ago and no family.
just need words of comfort and how to be strong, should I email school and tell them to make him walk, just dont know and off work sick as just dont want to do anything, self employed so no income other than t credits and family allowance
thanks for getting this far
have nc

I'm as tough as old boots - and I hate the school gate! Most of them are all sooooooo superior. Confused

Try and imagine her with no clothes on, if nothing else it should give you a laugh. Smile

Do what you need to do to get through this last month. Take your dog if you want to. Some people are truly unpleasant and they can't be reasoned with. Do whatever you need to do to deal with her/avoid her.

Did it! School got pick up time wrong so only 1 or 2 parents there. She was there and heading straight to me. I listened to eminems bully before going and had mn on my phone. Stuck a fuck you smile on my face and marched straight by. Was greeted by a neighbour in school reception which was lovely. Thanks all off to docs to sort out my head
love you all x x x

Well done Bible. Remember this feeling next time you have to see her !!

Idontseeanyicegiants · 18/06/2014 17:12

Excellent!!
Practice that smile Grin and remember you won't have to deal with her that much when they get to year 7.

NoodleOodle · 18/06/2014 17:13

Yay.

I'm so glad to be past those school gate days. Gives me the shivers just thinking of it. You sound a lot brighter, remember to be honest and realistic with the GP about exactly how low you did feel as it may be masked right now by your afternoon's success.

ChuckitintheBucket · 18/06/2014 17:19

Have been lurking on this thread and so pleased to see your latest post. Well done and keep that head held high, you are so much better than this other woman.

What a shame. Nobody needs to put up with this shite. Go back to your GP, ask for counselling or maybe different meds. I don't doubt for a minute this woman is a total cow, but you're giving her power over you and your DS. Please believe me when he goes up to "big school" this will just not matter one jot and she will have ZERO influence there. Not long now, stay strong.

sillystring · 18/06/2014 17:33

Missed your last post. WELL DONE!!!!! XXXXX

Lilybensmum1 · 18/06/2014 17:37

I'm glad you did that OP I felt so sad for you, why are some mums such bitches?? I feel like that some times and I do not have MH to deal with as well. You did good well done. Grin.

Pat45 · 18/06/2014 17:43

Well done you! I hated school gates with a vengeance. Never so glad when DC went to secondary and I didn't have to engage with them. You did really well to pluck up the courage and go to meet him. Don't think you are alone with the school gate issue. I have since heard so many stories from normal parents who despised the "popular" mums who were so cosy with school staff, on the PTA etc. Believe me they fairly change their tune when their DC become teenagers and are not so cute and compliant. Well done again, that wasn't easy.

WireCat · 18/06/2014 17:46

Well done! Thanks

Eliza22 · 18/06/2014 17:49

This is rotten. She should be ashamed of herself. You love, must return to your GP. You're not being silly, it's how you feel. It may be that you're in need of different treatment. Please go back.

Bullying doesn't just stop when kids grow up. I'd have a word at school. This behaviour is unacceptable.

Kalinka32 · 18/06/2014 17:52

Glad the pickup went well. Just to add- this woman has harassed you and made her feelings about you clear to her son. But this boy is still friends with your son. What does that tell you about how he values his mum's opinion compared to how he values your son's friendship? Your son, whom YOU brought up to be the person he is. Good luck and I hope things improve for you.

GatoradeMeBitch · 18/06/2014 18:15

Well done! Smile

marne2 · 18/06/2014 20:20

Well done you, glad it went well xxx

littledrummergirl · 18/06/2014 21:27

Well done youSmile you can be really proud of yourself. Small victories and all that.
I bet your ds1 was thrilled to see you. Did you do the whole jumping up and down with excitement and then crying thing or is that just me.
I hope your ds1 had a fabulous time.
