Hovering

You ask me to do something for you. I am willing to help, but just back up. Quit standing over my shoulder. Quit hovering over me. Back off! You have no idea how you drive me nuts when I feel you over my shoulder, behind me. Don't take this the wrong way, but go the hell away until i'm done!

Has your child ever feared anyone in your family?

I am faced with a sticky situation. My child has gotten to be deathly afraid of one individual in our family. This person has become verbally-abusive towards him, along with occasional hits and slaps. He feels afraid and doesn't understand why this is happening to him. She tells me that he attacks her and tries to hurt her, which has never been noticed. She gets angry with me because I don't believe her.

I am so confused and concerned. I feel that there is something mentally going on, but I can't just walk up to her and tell her to have an evaluation done.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I feel like I am trapped.

Thank you.

Happy 2011

We made it. May everyone find 2011 an exciting and inspiring new year.
