[quote=Anonymous]OP, you didn't have an "altercation," you were "assaulted." I'm sorry it happened. It sounds like you handled it well. Report it to the police. And continue to be open to your son as he processes what happened. Do not be surprised if he is still processing in 6 months or a year. Until the assault occurred, he has been used to feeling 100% safe whenever he was with you. Now his worldview has been knocked and he realizes that even you are not all-powerful, and bad or scary things can happen even when he is with mommy. I'm not saying this to make you feel badly, because you did NOTHING wrong and EVERYTHING right after the assault, but you need to anticipate that because his worldview has been shaken, and that will affect him going forward. You may want to talk to his pediatrician about it. And certainly give his teacher (kindergarten? 1st grade) a head's up, too. Hugs. Team Report It.[/quote]
