Firstly Lisa Im sorry Im intermittant. Trouble with internet at house.

That was pretty awful getting rid of your sons ferret. Im not surprised you are furious I would be too. Sometimes Lisa all we can do is damage limitation. No contact could be a worse outcome then coping with what happens now. As a mum how do we stand by and watch hurtful things happen. The truth is we can not shield our children from every hurt and in one way it strengthens our children and helps them in later life to cope with the challenges we all have to face at some point. Cold comfort I know. You are doing what you can and thats all you can do.
Our children do not remain children and they will one day want answers of their own when they are able to understand as adults. THIS happens time and time again.

Keep recording with the gp the stomache aches. Keep talking to your son, the worst I imagine is having to deal with your own pain because nothing hurts more than seeing our children hurt.

Let me know how things go, I will certainly pop by when Im able. I know this much Lisa, that when children have at least one other trusted person in their life, they can cope with anything.

Thank You Abbey. I guess I just have to do the best I can. I played both mother and father when I was married and guess it's still my job :(
No belly aches since his last visit with Dad..one good thing, Dad called and told me he couldn't take him this coming weekend...why he didn't ask for them Friday I don't know and really don't care. This gives me more time to really see how my son acts here vs there.
