Can you please tell me whether I am exaggerating and taken things too far in this situation, because I have been told by certain people that I must let it go.
My 10 year old son went out with my cousins boyfriend yesterday, he usually comes for him and takes him out for the day.
I got a phone call from the police to tell me that they had my son, and they were going to bring him home to me. I called my cousins boyfriend straight away, my instant thought was maybe something had happened to him, because why did I just receive a phone call from the police telling me that they had my child.
He didn't pick up, when the police arrived with my son they couldn't give me much detail on what had happened except they were called to a disturbance in a house and my son was found by them hiding in a wardrobe, he only spoken to them to give them my number.
My son isn't used to loud noise (he is very sensitive to noise) neither is he ever been exposed to any violence etc.
I asked my son what had happened, he told me that my cousins boyfriend had taken him to a house, people started shouting, arguing and fighting he got scared and hid in wardrobe, he thought that my cousins boyfriend would come and get him but he didn't and the police lady come and got him out.
I called my cousin once the police had left, she said that she'd try and get him on the phone then she'd call me back. I was told by her that something had gone on forgot about my child but he sent someone back to go and look for him.
All my cousin was concerned about is whether or not my son had said anything to the police i.e given them his name, then I got a phone call from him saying he is sorry about what happened and that he will come and take my son to go get a bike tomorrow, I hung up and called my cousin
I was very disrespectful to the both of then (with my words) I have had an argument with my cousin and then I called him and did the same to him.
My son is my only child, we have tried for years to conceive again but it just won't happen so we have accepted it. I can not even tell my husband about that has happened because I don't know what he will do to my cousins boyfriend.
I have had a few phone calls from family members and close friends, saying that I have taken things too far and that my cousin and I are too close for this to ruin our relationship.
I am also worried that social services might get involved, I have worked close with social services and they could put this down to neglect.
My son seems ok now, but I feel like I failed him yesterday, like I said above he is not used to things like this.
Sorry for my bad grammar or any mistakes, I didn't proof read before pressing send.
