good for you for writing. I know a lot of us hesitate to stand up to bullying because we're afraid it will escalate. And sometimes it does (e.g. the woman at my job and men at the nightmare job I had a few years ago). But even when it does, the act of standing up tot hem makes the victim feel stronger, somehow. I hope your letter gets published.
I have to say though, I can't really condone the mother saying she'd cut the bully's heart out. I mean, wow.
Fighting for your kids should be a natural. My middle boy was a funny wicked and loving kid, he was always in trouble for being the class clown, who has since gone on to bring me a lot of grief, but never has he EVER been physically abusive . His hassles are financial and mostly connected to cars! I have to stand back now and not get involved because its too darned complicated. He will have to fight that battle himself, and we have no money for lawyers.
Agree about venting I need to; and still keep a journal, it helps doesn't it? Will have a look at yours, have stuff to do today, after a busy weekend. But time later.
I think if I found out either of my kids were being bullied I'd have to "fight" for them too. I'd mention it to the school, and keep a close eye on what was happening myself too. I'd certainly delve into it a bit more

Of course you would the 'tiger' comes out when its our kids.
You did the right thing, just keeping an eye on him, and knowing the character of the boy good for you!
Even now they are all so much older still feel the same, but some things are beyind a word, or anything I can do. I still think about them the same. When its horrible weather and I know my stonemason son is working on an exposed bridge or a church spire, then I think of him. He is like me feels the cold badly, and needs his food. So I wish I could rush there with a hot pie and gloves, being a Mum never stops.
