Bullies don’t like it when you stand up to them. That is what you did. You stood up to your bully… the person who should have protected you and made you feel special. This post makes me want to call my mom and thank her making me who I am today, and then I want to call my 20yr old daughter and wish her luck on her finals. I don’t know if I’d have your strength if that were my situation. From reading your past posts, you are creative, intelligent and a caring mom, but you don’t need us to tell you that. :)
