I'm struggling to move on from my son being bullied......

I'm Struggling to move on from my son being bullied. Around 2 years ago our son started to experience bullying at school. Fast forward 2 years and its still ongoing and has now resulted in our son being physically assaulted by this boy on a couple of occasions.

We have realised that this boy has made up a lot of stories about our son and has fed the narrative that he is in fact the bully. School have no concerns over our sons behaviour and it feels like this kid has been victim blaming our son.

Due to how popular the bullies parents are at the school, they have spread this narrative of our son being the bully to many parents at the school - being believed By multiple parents.

Our family, our son are dirt on people's shoes just because this boy and his family say so and it's deeply impacted me. I just can't get over how truly awful it's been for our family and feel utter hate towards them.

I have so much anger and bitterness inside me it's unreal - I just can't get over it. I struggle to sleep, I worry constantly about our son and I could cry constantly at how much this family have and will get away with.

I'm also resentful towards my husband, who refused to move our son to another school. Everytime something happens I can't help but blame him - that we could have acted, but that might be a thread for another time.

How can I move on from this? Our son goes to high school this time, but it's the same one as his bully and I'm concerned it will carry on there too.

Please help me!

Sorry you've experienced this. The bully mum sounds like a nasty creature. No prizes for guessing where the bully gets his nasty nature from.
I get how you feel. Dd1 was bullied at primary school by the child of a mum who was popular with school staff as she helped a lot at school. I did find that it all stopped at secondary school. Parents aren't able to have much influence at secondary school. They're not able to infiltrate the school in the same way. Dd was in a different class from the mean kids. Can you request that your ds is put in a different class from the bully?

I agree with the above poster explain the situation to the high school and they will try and separate them. You and your son should not have to put up with this. I had it through high school and trust me Karma will serve them and it will come to light. Sounds like the kid is lying to his parents truth will prevail for now focus all that bitterness to supporting your son!
