I have recently seperated from my husband, meaning a move of home & school for my son and I. He hasnt settled in very well in school & it was very hard to get him to go until he made a new friend (a relief to me at first). However this kid is very 'street wise' & it turns out that he has been truanting with my son & getting up to all sorts (shop lifting ect.) which really upsets me as he was never brought up like that. On top of all of that this kids dad works in a video shop & lets his son watch all kind of things (mine also). I have spoken to his mother but she sais that I am ott. & that they realise it is only make believe. My son sais that if I stop him seeing this boy, he will not go to school or just 'bunk off' with him.
I have noticed a serious change in him (the way he is with me & his little brother).
Do all kids go through this 'fase' or should I be tougher on him, which is hard as he took the seperation badly & I feel guilty.
Advice would be very welcome, Jane xxx.
