Title pretty much sums it up, I’ve been friends with Sarah since grade 9. We have been through all of it, marriages, pregnancies and our sons are now in the same kindergarten class.
Sarah had it tougher than I did, I found my husband relatively early in the game and settled down into a comfortable life. Sarah struggled to find a decent guy, went through tons of relationships over the years before meeting her ex husband. They had a whirlwind romance and got married only six months after meeting and got pregnant right away. They split up just after she had her second baby, another boy. He is now 2.
Since maybe even before the parents divorce, the oldest boy has been acting out aggressively. He is a very very aggressive little boy, he’s getting bigger and stronger every day and turns six soon. Almost daily my son comes home from school with a new injury. Got hit in the face with a stick, punched in the head, stole his jacket and threw it in a puddle.
Now, it may be due to his upbringing but I have a very calm mannered child. Each time there were witnesses and my son hadn’t done anything wrong. The teachers called the parents each time, etc. The behaviour continues to get worse. Note this behaviour is just outward and doesn’t seem to be directed specifically at my son, he lashes out and hurts children daily.
We went for dinner there last night and the children were watching a movie while my friend and I talked. All of a sudden we heard a loud yelp and I came in to him on top of my son. We separated them, the one boy went for a time out and my son stayed on the couch. Moments later I got a bad feeling and ran into the living room and the boy had a real carpentry hammer in his hands and he was going to hit him over back of the couch in the head.
I took the hammer from him and called his mother over. She laughed and said he wasn’t actually going to hit him. But he definitely was. She sent him back to his “time out”.
I kept my son with me the rest of the night. My friend told me she had a great time and that she wanted to get the kids together again soon, and I don’t know what to do.
She is very defensive when people bring up his behaviour, she says he’s just a rough and tumble boy but he’s borderline psychotic. I absolutely love my best friend, and I don’t know what to do.
TLDR: best friends kid is psychotic and I don’t want our kids around each other anymore. Still love my friend.
