[QUOTE="buddy, post: 481369, member: 12886"] I bet your instinct to talk to your daughter was just the right thing. She was maybe doing some of those things as sibs do, but some maybe because she was frustrated and confused by his behaviors too. I have a sister who now is diagnosis bipolar, but she has had not had any serious mental health crises, still it affects her life for sure. I suspect she was this way as a child too. My childhood view of it was she was a favorite of my dad's (I was the one who always had to give in, and always got yelled at) and I would be mean to her at times in retaliation. If they had known why she was a kid who tantrumed, had to have her way, kind of kid and if they could have explained it to me, I think my heart would have loved, cared and encouraged her. I was like that as a child, so I do believe I would have. (not saying I was a saint, certainly just a normal kid, just super sensitive and I loved/do love my sister). Kids are much more capable of deep understanding when things are put in their terms at their level than most of us give credit for. Will she always be perfect in handling this??? probably not. She is a kid after-all... but I bet she will try and it might make a huge difference. You might want to remind her that this is family business. Some things in family are private and just between family and the doctors who are trying to help. It could be hard for Carson in the future if rumors and private topics are discussed on the playground. (not from your daughter, but if she tells someone and it goes thru the grapevine). You are an amazing mom. [/QUOTE]
