[QUOTE="isis, post: 565647, member: 15590"] It is difficult. The times when you, or your partner are able to do a great job being patient, along comes a sibling to fill in the gap and lash out at difficult child. I took my daughter to a therapist, just a couple of times, to talk about how difficult it is living with difficult child. Of course, she's a girl and doesn't mind talking, but I'm also going to take my younger son and see if he will do this too. She found it hugely helpful to talk to an adult that is not one of us, and frankly, to have the opportunity to just *****. The therapist gave her all sorts of ideas about ways to handle her frustration, she said she was game but never does any of them. But its OK, because she felt heard, we acknowledged that it is hard to be difficult children sibling. I believe her ability to empathize went up. [/QUOTE]
