You gotta love a mother big style who goes & tells the bully what for!! It is the best gift you can give a child your protection & fury. Makes them secure. You only beg em not ot do it because you fear the consequences but once it is done you feel nothing but relief. No great parent considers the plea at the point of ultimate protection xx

I can’t think of too many parents that would obey their kids wishes in that instance. Don’t second guess yourself. Being a parent is hard in that way sometimes.

Shhh hush, baby. You did what you thought was right. Forgive yourself, over and over.

Sister,

Most of us would love to have a Mom like you and I’m sure Max would have agreed.
It is just primal to want to protect you children even if they don’t understand or like it.
As for 4th of July, my Husband’s adoptive Dad killed himself that night many years ago in the kitchen of their home with Mom and the three young boys sleeping. They had gone to watch fireworks that night and he did it in the middle of the night.

He was diagnosed as manic/depressive and this was in the fifties when lithium was just starting to be used. He didn’t take the medication and unfortunately he just couldn’t live anymore.

When my Husband was a teenager he went to the Police Dept. to see if there was anything from his Dad there. He found out there were three letters. He told his Mom about it and they went back to collect the only one left which was addressed to his Mom. On the way home his Mom read the letter and started sobbing. My Husband felt horrible and completely regretted this decision to tell her about the letter. I guess he hoped there would be something that would make them feel better in the letter, but there wasn’t.

My Mom always wanted to fight my battles for me. In some ways it has made me feel weak but somehow strong as well because I always stick up for family and friends.

Don’t forget you have so many people who love you and look forward to what you have to say.

I think what you did was magnificent, confronting that little psychopath! You can be sure that Max thought so too, even if he’d never let on. He was just being 9 years old and any great parent would’ve done the same thing and any kid would’ve felt the same way. You did something way better than protecting his feelings, Sister Wolf.

(My mother did that siding with the bully shit to me, too. “That’s right, tune up and cry – big baby. They just do that to get a reaction” blah blah-blah blah “you’re just asking for it” blah blah. When she got old & needed taking care of, I got her back once, but I didn’t enjoy it, it just made me horribly sad.)
