Ohhh, Sally! This story has left me in tears - and great, big smile! How terribly upsetting for you, such a gentle, kind creature, to be abused and treated in such a dreadful manner. But thankfully, you've taken back your power and you're doing all you can to keep yourself and your son safe in every sense of the word.

I'm so grateful that you've got the support of the school and that you're seeking more formal ways of setting boundaries and sending a message to the pinhead about his behaviour being out of line (not that he's likely to believe it anyway, but as long as it stops, that's all that matters!).

I'm also grateful for our friendship and will always be here if you need an ear.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspiring story! ❤️❤️
