Look after yourself
You have perhaps noticed it already: the thoughts that will not loosen their grip, the evenings spent formulating emails to the school. That is not weakness — it is a normal reaction to seeing your child in pain over time. But if you are to carry this case, someone has to carry you as well.
As a parent it tears at your heart to see your child suffer. The burden can increase when the school does not acknowledge the problem, and perhaps makes life even more difficult for the family. At the same time you have to be strong and rational for your child. Many find little room for themselves.
Acknowledge that you are in an extraordinarily difficult situation, where it is natural to feel tired and helpless. Lion mums and dads need rest too. Make room for yourself and recharge your batteries.
Do something else
Good friends are usually willing to share problems and worries, and it can do you good to talk about the bullying case. Even so, try not to let everything revolve around the bullying. It can become exhausting for friends. For many people it is difficult to understand a bullying case if they have not experienced it themselves. Besides, it can do you good to think about something else.
Living along the way
Seeing your child suffer without getting the bullying stopped wears on a family. If you experience isolation in the local community and resistance from the school, the disappointment can become deep and heavy.
Do not despair. There are ways out of the bullying. Stand by your child until the bullying is resolved, and remember to live along the way. You need breaks too.
