What should I do about this situation?(please help!)?
About 2 months ago my son(14 years old)got robbed and was beaten.Because of this he suffered head-injury(severe concussion)and couldn't return to school.My parents stuck by me that whole time,until last week.Past weekend I had an argument with my son,because I suspected him to kindof drag his injury to keep from going to school.To cool off,I went to my parents for a few hours.
The next night my son had a mental breakdown,I've never seen him like this,he was completely in tears,wanted to kill himself,it scared me!
The next day I called the doctor and then my father to share my anxiety.At that point he listened to me and believed me.My mom didn't.She said she thought he was faking the whole thing and that she needed some time to let the news sink in.Last thursday I had a meeting with my son at school,to talk about how we'd go from here-(I didn't call my parents because my mom said she needed some time)and last friday my son and I went to a psychologist.When we got home,the phone rang.It was my father.He sounded really cold and distant,telling me we aren't welcome there for christmas ore new years eve and that I knew why(because they both think my son is a manipulative liar)They are both very disappointedd in us,they want peace of mind and want me to leave them alone.
I was in shock!I mean...they never acted like this,we always had a very strong bond and now this?They're just abandoning us,in a time when we both really need some support..and I don't even know why.All I know is that I'm feeling hurt and very angry that they think so low about my son.
How can they say all these things and judge him like that?They were not here,they did not see his pain!
But...on the other hand this situation is also killing me,although I refuse t call them up and apologize for something I didn't even do-ore understand(and believe me-knowing my mother,that is exactly what she wants from me,she will ignore me until I do)
I don't know what to do anymore.This is driving me insane!So.. please...please help!Tell me what you think about all this?What would you do if you were me?
For the more judgemental people around here:I know exactly what happened the night my son was robbed and beaten,because I was on the phone with him when it happened,I heard the whole thing.That's how I know he didn't do anything and was just a victim of a random crime.
We went to the police the very same night it happened,the investigation is still ongoing.
I didn't talk to my parents (ore anyone else) about it ''all the time''-actually my mom called me every day for the past 2 months,asking me how it went-untill last week.
And the healing time of a concussion depends on the severity of it.I know for a fact that my son is not lying,because there were still signs of it showing on the MRI he had 2 weeks ago.

Your parents are withholding their love and support in order to control the way you raise your son. This is not the act of loving parents. You may be better off without them in your life. Be strong and raise your son your way, and don't let them control you. Good luck.

I think your son is milking the incident for all it's worth so he gets ALL the attention. He knows he is going to be behind in his school work when he returns and may not want to buckle down and get busy studying. It doesn't take TWO MONTHS to recover from a brain concussion. He has you right where he wants you because he is manipulating everyone. Just because he had a little crying jag doesn't mean he had a mental breakdown. I'll bet he didn't just start crying without someone yapping about the little fight he had or about your parents.
By the way, they are tired of hearing about the fight he was involved in. Did you call the cops for an investigation and what did they say? What did the witnesses say? I think there is a lot more to his part of the story than you have been told. He is not the hero you are making him out to be. If he were my son, I would tell him to stop the whining his little game is over, and come Monday morning he had better be dressed and ready to return to school.
Your parents haven't abandoned you, they are tired of constantly hearing the same old story over and over. For God's sake, GIVE IT A REST and stop talking about it. They don't want you and your son to ruin their holidays and so they just took up the welcome mat. You sound like you could do with some clear thinking and a lot of growing up.

That's their GRANDSON your talking about. They should love him always no matter what happens to him. He's a little shaken up right now, but if they should still stick by him. Just screw them, you don't need them if they don't give their full support.
