i've done the same thing,
held and hugged my younger son because he feels/knows we are so judged by the community because of his older brother's bp, mainly the rage and tantrums, police and ambulences coming when he has a suicide attempt (older son). i found a paper from school where younger son wrote that he doesn't like to have friends over
, we don't have his friends over, we can't because older brother is 16 and violent and the whole town knows too. the president of the pta is my next door neighbor
. she sent me a text last week that infuriated me, "is everything ok over there, we heard a lot of screaming." i wrote back, "yes we're ok, thank you, and sorry for the noise." no response from her back, like offering help or support, she was merely patronizing me. I do understand loud neighbors (my bp family) can be annoying, but that woman is an ***-hole.
