I cannot believe how stupid I can be. Here's what happened. Yesterday, our neighbor's boys came over with 2 other boys and got my son. They walked across my yard to my next door neighbor's when the 2 other boys started to pull each other's shorts down. No biggee, until one of the boys grabbed his shorts, bent over and shot me the moon. I was going to let it go, I just laughed a little embarrassed and looked to make sure my 2 girls didn't catch it when this kid grabbed his waistline and said,"Oh c'mon mama, I know you like it!" That sent me over the edge. He says this in front of my kids and my neighbor's kids. I got in his face. Basically made my point about how inappropriate and unwarranted that type of behavior is for a guest in someone else's yard. He just acted insolent, kept saying what? huh? what? I tried to get the kid's phone number so I could call his parents, suddenly, there was brain cell damage and no one could remember. So I called one of my neighbors and left a message. When I did, I told my husband about it and he went nuts. He went out and the kid started talking smack to him and he did it...he poked the kid in the chest. Bad idea. Anyway, I went back out to try to avert the disaster and I confronted the neighbor boys and asked them what do they think their fathers would do if they caught wind of this? I know their fathers...they'd go ballistic. My son came up and told me that this is the very same boy that's been giving him a hard time in school by pulling his pants down at track practice to laugh at his tightie whities. I asked him what's with that? You like pulling down boys pants? He said "He liked little boys." And I had a bit a problem with that response, but didn't elaborate. I left it at that and went to calm my husband down. I told him I didn't know that boy or his family and not to be surprised if the cops get called.
I called one of the boys over (my neighbor) and asked if either of these boys would get in major trouble if I called a parent, or if the parent would basically rip into me. He didn't know but did ask I not say anything for fear of his dad finding out. Dumb deal. Come to find out, they wanted time to concoct a story to "get us in trouble". Needless to say, a few hours later, as I was relaxing in my backyard with a beer, this woman comes tearing into my driveway, jumps out of her car and verbally attacks me. Tells me to get my husband out here or she's calling the cops. I told her to call the cops. I was very nervous and she was very out of control. She started screaming at me for getting in her kid's face, said he didn't moon me, he just lost his pants playing football....I can understand some of her fury, I mean, I'd go nuts if I thought a grown man put a hand on my kid too. Come to find out, the boys embellished my "getting in the face" of the boy, said I was calling him queer among other names (I confess, I did call him a brat) then when the police got here, we told them what happened, then the slew of lies came out. The woman said I threatened to "kick her you know what" and that my husband assaulted her son by pushing him to the ground! I thought for sure my neighbors would not lie for the kid...but they did! After the cops got them alone, they fessed up - I know the two boys got a beating...like I said I know their dads. I did call the lady stupid and unintelligent...I was getting mad too, what do you do when you're in your driveway and this psycho woman starts telling lie after lie. Heck, I thought the truth was bad enough. Anyway, for some reason, my husband didn't go to jail, our relationship with my neighbors is trashed and my son has to put up with all this embellished grief at school. I want to run away! I don't know what to do. I feel like apologizing, but then, why? I am not sorry for getting in a kid's face after he moons me and starts making lewd comments...But I feel bad for our situation. I don't know what to do. I'm battling depression, social anxiety...now I'm wondering if I have an anger management problem. I called my pastor this morning to talk, I just can't believe this situation went so completely out of control. My husband is so embarrassed, and my poor son is the laughing stock of the middle school because of his abusive dad and ballistic mom. I just want to hide under a bed for the next 5 years. I can't take much more.
