Bully My Son at Your Own Risk



I knew when I walked into the house that something was wrong.

"Babe," my husband said, "your oldest needs some mom time."

I looked further into the house and saw my 10-year-old son sitting on the couch, arms crossed, huffing and looking at his lap.

"What's up?" I asked my husband.

He shrugged. "I have no idea. Go work your magic."

Even though my husband is a stay-at-home dad, I seem to have this special power over my sons. Or maybe it's just tenacity, because if one of them is upset, I will not stop until I get what's wrong out of them.

This is a good read. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/Amelia/bully-my-son-at-your-own-risk_b_6577458.html?utm_hp_ref=gay-voices

Too many young ones have no one to confide in, no one offering comfort and support. It may be the difference keeping him alive, literally.

Thanks for the OP, sheshe.

Open, honest and so much love. You are right, it will keep him alive and it will keep him centered as well.. brer cat.
