The first hint that the other mom was improper was saying you were not "a good Christian." That in itself is verbal abuse and shows where her daughter gets it. Proves to you that your daughter is truly being bullied. Great you talked to the teacher. Tough you can't be there with your daughter to make sure she is safe. When someone bullies my 7 and 8 year old kids, I tell them to first say "stop." Then if the person continues to turn and walk away. This is what I learned in abuse counseling. This goes for any situation young, old and in between. On the phone same thing. Say stop and then if they don't say, "I am hanging up now." to give them the heads up. It sounds like you and your daughter have good hearts and unfortunately bullies can smell that out. Happened to me my whole life, and every day I have to remind myself the rules of true friendship versus a wolf in sheep's clothing. I will send happy thoughts your way. And please, don't ever accept this "you are not a Christian," stuff. I am a Pastor's wife who rarely goes to church where he preaches anymore because of hearing that type of thing and I am trying to tell the ladies to "stop." Well they do not, so a lot of members leave. That's another story about bullies. Different forms and different disguises, same MO.
Good luck to you! |
