Good luck. I'm so relieved that your son is home safe. Keep us posted please.

If this were a made up story, I think the best thing the people who believe it to be so could do is stop reading it. You may think that to be the case, but you can't be sure, and, as jacqui (I think) says, the last thing a person who has been abused needs to be told is that it's their fault or that they are making it up. One of the big problems of domestic abuse is that the victim convinces themselves that they are at fault.

Some of us aren't really bothered if we are being set up. It makes no fools of us to show that we are caring people whatever the situation, and these things happen too often for it not to ring horribly true.

Love Lynne
