In a strange twist of fate, the family of the boy who had been bullying my son, has moved and the boy is now attending another school.  This just happened in the last week (apparently this move had been planned all along) and it was actually a teacher that told me about it, rather than my son. Finding out via a teacher didn’t really surprise me all that much because the tales my son would bring home about this boy had actually stopped, so he was no longer a source of conversation in our house.

I say had been bullying my son because as I said in my first update on the subject, the boy and my son had started to repair their friendship and the boy was no longer hurting my son. I find it ironic that just as my son was beginning to trust this boy again, he moves.  Now my son says he is going to miss him because “Mom he was finally starting to behave nicely toward me”.

My son and this boy may have been on a new path, but I am relieved just the same.  Now it is my hope that all the progress this boy has made is not lost as he tries to fit into a new school!
