7 years ago my 4 year old son was suffering with a severe skin disorder that meant he was in and out of hospital alot.
Also i gave birth to my daughter and was breast feeding her.
One day I left my daughter with my mother whilst i took my son to his school, a group of older boys aged about 7 years old gathered round my son laughing at his skin whilst i was standing with him, I didnt know what to do but i knew i wanted to protect my son .I said to the boys (there were about 5 or 6 of them) can you please leave him alone or I will have to tell his daddy.
Now looking back maybe it wasnt the smartest way to deal with the situation but i was tired and felt desperate for my small son who had been through so much already.
Anyway the next day when i took my son to school again, i was standing in the playground when all of a sudden this HUGE woman came up to me from behind shoving me and aggressively screaming at me saying she was going to kill me calling me every name under the sun in front of all the other parents and children.
I was in complete shock and checked to see if my son was witnessing all this but luckly he was just entering the school door.
I remember this other mother at the school trying to drag this woman off me and all i kept saying was please calm down.
It was all totally embarrasing and i remember the headmistress coming out to interviene, at this point i was crying my eyes out and actually nearly wet my self with shock! (I think with just given birth my hormones were all over the place).
It turned out this woman accused me of saying to her son that my husband was going to come up the school to get him! luckly all the other people who were standing with me that morning all witnessed what i had said and were willing to say so.
Id say from that day on ive never been the same person, i remember straight away i couldnt stop crying about silly things and felt an emotional wreck getting very nervous with people and almost too scared to talk too much incase i said something id regret, also i started to feel wobbly when going out of the house. I also started getting the odd panic attack. (now i get them weekly).
I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS AND STILL IS PTSD ?
