I read a post some time ago by
woman speaking of her child becoming THAT child and it touched a point because I
was the mom of THAT child, I have often spoken about the boys trials and how
far we have come but very seldom to I get to vent about the treatment these
kids are subjected to….
I was the mom of THAT child…
You know THAT child, the child
who is always in trouble, the child who struggles to concentrate, sit still and
pay attention.
The child who is shunned by other
kids because their parents have told them to stay away or they just don’t want
to be where the trouble is… I was the mom of the child who sat alone at break
times and who came home in tears EVERY day, the mom of the child who called
themselves stupid and would ask why nobody liked him or wanted to be his
friend, why his teachers ignored him or told him he was bad all the time and
would blame them even if they were not in the room at the time….
I have had a parent verbally
assaulted me with a baby in my arms, I have received threats and nasty phone
calls, Loghan has been threatened and pushed around by ADULTS, he has been told
that he is a bad child a bad influence that nobody likes him by ADULTS!!!!!!!
I could never understand how
other mothers especially could be so cruel and heartless what if their children
needed help or attention, what if their child needed a friend, Loghan and
Gabriel are both loving kind hearted kids who are always willing to help the
bullied children and the ones without friends so why was it so hard or
impossible to imagine the same would come from others….The mother who verbally
assaulted me did so because Loghan apparently bit her child, when cctv footage
was reviewed Loghan had not even been in the same room, her child was not
reprimanded that woman never apologised…
It is not easy being the THAT
child or the parent of THAT child…. It is incredibly heart-breaking and I only
wish that more parents would encourage their children to be more empathetic and
to give a helping hand and support instead of teaching them to shun and ignore,
how can one expect the world to be a better place if you do not encourage this behavior in children from the start!
I am so sorry that you had to go through this. But I'm glad that you have found a solution since then. I think moms just totally lose focus when it comes to their child - but she should have apologized.
