[QUOTE="idohope, post: 425106, member: 7722"] Does your easy child/difficult child go to therapy? Would easy child/difficult child go? I reached a point where I felt I could not provide enough support to my easy child 1. I was overwhelmed and while I could provide support and understanding when easy child 1 was frustrated or worried about major rages from difficult child, I could not listen to easy child 1 telling me everyday that he hates difficult child or complaining every time she walked in the room. My easy child 1 became overly focused on difficult child and her behaviors. So I found a therapist for easy child 1 specifically to give him a place to talk about difficult child and his feelings and for him to work on how he could detach from difficult children behaviors. He went for about 6 months. The therapist was not a terrific match but I think it did help and was also a tangible action from me that I recognized that easy child 1 had a lot to deal with a difficult child in the family. This is in addition to a therapist for difficult child, a therapist for me and depression medications for me. It is overwhelming and support is needed. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
