[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 221433, member: 3208"] Eekysign, thanks for giving us your perspective as a sibling. I think both my easy child's felt as you do--they didn't dare be any trouble, they could see how much trouble difficult child was for us. My younger dtr is learning in therapy how to speak up for herself and her needs. She definitely was feeling she mustn't bother anyone with her problems. She felt that her own needs were not important. My older son says he felt "all alone". I feel very bad that difficult child got so much attention by being such a squeaky wheel. If only I could go back now and do it differently with all I have learned! Jane [/QUOTE]
