Can loyalty to friends go to far?????   Author:  47508  Category:(Discussion) Created:(11/8/2002 3:08:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (363 times) If you read my last post about my son's behavior and what may go on in his "space", this may explain things further. He has this loyalty to his friends that I do not understand. He feels he has to provide a place to chill for them. Because of several reasons I guess. He is easy to manipulate, scare and he falls for everything he hears from them. My son is learning disabled and to him these friends are better than no friends at all. We cannot make him see otherwise. The other night he was in a gang fight with them and he was left behind and beat up so bad that he was in the hospital getting stitched up and suffered a concussion. The friends supposedly thought he was with the other friends. This is not a good situation. The gang fight started because my son was jumped earlier that evening and so they all went to this bad neighborhood and retaliated. My son got the brunt of it. AGAIN!!! Jumped twice in one night. He came out of it alright. My son is hard as nails. But he did not deserve what he got and to be left alone like that. But now, since they actually did try to retaliate for him that nite he feels even more obligated to them. He thinks that is something special. To him not his family. But I just think he is carrying this loyalty to far when it starts to involve his own family, don't you think?????
