Encouraging Empathy and Understanding- Being the mom of THAT child



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!!!!!!!
