Elder Child was suspended from school thursday, but the note said he was expelled. In any case, it was not a pleasant evening at Casa Skatemom, and the thunderstorms that rolled through overnight were nothing compared to the fights we'd just had. It was bad enough that we took DinoBoy over to grandma's for the night -- he didn't need to be around all the tension. <br/><br/>Does it help to know that you're not alone? I have no solutions (if I did, I'd try them myself!), but I wish you peace. was it the moon? Elder Child was suspended from school thursday, but the note said he was expelled.

That does seem like a stressful night. The fact that he opened up to you and actually SAID those things instead of just holding it all inside or worse yet doing them, is a very, very good sign (IMO). He feels comfortable enough to tell you EXACTLY how he's feeling . . . <br/><br/>I can remember my brother threatening to run away from home. He very calmly packed a bag, added a package of cookies, and then walked out the back door. I also remember wanting to scream at my mother "ARe you just going to let him go?"<br/><br/>She watched out the back window as he reached the woods, took two steps into them, before turning around and coming back. She heaved a huge sigh of relief. Oh Heidi! That does seem like a stressful night.

Very Scary and sadly very similar. I have no advice for you; I feel each family dynamic is different and quite honestly you didn't ask for advice. If our situation had been during the school year I would've gone into school and talked to our schools psychologist; and quite frankly if something that scary ever happens again I don't care what time of year it is, thats what I'll do. But, you obviously are a different person in a different family - so, I simply hope that you find peace with the incident and that you never have to face another one like it.
