Well, after months of reaching out to SD in Voicemails and ultimately emails and facebooking, she is starting to have a conversation with DH. Before the bus incident, she was leaving one sentence answers. Now at least they are having a semi conversation. Granted, it was about finals but it is a start. I am sure the long emails to BM telling her that he feels she is keeping SD away from him, may have worked.

We celebrate both holidays in this house and my husband does Hannukah for the kids. Each night they do the menorrah and he gives them a gift at the end. He starts small and by the 8th night they get their large gift. Well SD no longer has anything to do with this household. SS12 has been with us until this morning and he is back at his BM's for the next week. So he has gotten his gifts every night. BM has been doing things right lately and actually texted DH that she would bring SS back at 5:30 so he could do Hannukah here.

I went to the school early this morning and then to the Police Station. I met with the Vice Principal who I had called on Monday confidentially about all of this. She was not aware that my son had been called in to the office. So she got his counselor to come in to the office and discuss it. I asked to speak to SD's counselor as well, but was told that is confidential. Apparently, after my DH tried to get BM to tell SD to leave BS alone, she (BM) went and filed a complaint against my son. SD was called into her counselors office and my son in his.

Well after DH's email to SD14 it just goes on and on. She replied to her dad that she would do what she wants to and that BS15 shouldn't call her names. Of course, I am not allowed to see her reply, because I am sure DH thinks it will upset me further. Well my BS tells me on Friday that she is up to the same crap again. She actually got up half way through the bus ride and sat in the seat next to him. Making a clear point of bringing her friend with and interjecting into their conversation.
