back again

July 30th, 2006 at 06:59 pm

I haven't written anything in a very long time, or so it seems ot me. The last tiem I was here we were on th eway to MI to do a good deed for my MIL and run a garage sale. The phrase "No good deed goes unpunished" fits well here. After a couple days with her she blew up late at night in front of our 2 year old and scared him so badly that he regressed in several ways for a couple weeks. We are just now finally back to the little boy we knew before. My DH has said that she will never get the chance to do that again. So my little one will grow up without grandparents but will be safer, healthier and happier for it. I agree with his decision since we know it has happened with his cousins other times and we refuse to give the chance of repition with us. We forgive her, we just won't allow a rematch. I really admire my DH though. He listened (as we threw our things into a suitcase with DS clinging to me) and didn't lose his temper and return "fire" It wouldn't have done any good anyway. So no more MI entries!!

    I'm sorry this happened. We had to cut out my husband's aunt from our lives because her husband choked our son when he was barely five years old. His crime? He kicked the uncle's chair. She won't go anywhere without her husband and we will never allow him to be in a room with either of our children again. I wasn't there when it happened but DH handled everything well. Got our son away from the uncle, left the barbecue, talked to the police, who also reccommended never being around that man again. DH ultimately chose not to press charges but he did file a police report so there is a record of the behavior so that if it ever happens again to anyone, they will know there is a history.

    It sounds like your altercation was verbal, but I well know how frightening that can be for a child, young or not. Stick to your guns. They may try to make you feel guilty, but don't let them when they are the ones at fault.
