[QUOTE="Andy, post: 388579, member: 5096"] I am glad the puppy is bringing difficult child some comfort. Yes, hospitalization is very intense. It also helps in seperating your emotions from your kids'. What you are doing with difficult child at home is very hard because your emotions are still a factor and she can feed on those. Try to find time to check in on easy child whenever possible. If you can arrange to do something with easy child that will help her also. She is feeling pushed aside even though we know that is not the case. My Diva went through the same thing when difficult child was hospitalized. My Diva has chosen to turn her back on me and walk her own path but will still proclaim that it was me that pushed her away - Not so!!! Even as older teenagers, the world still revolves around them and what we see as necessary extra help to a sibling, they see as themselves being left out. I know you are doing great. It is so very hard and all we can do is hope that one day the kids will all understand what went on and why. They will sooner or later realize that you did have everyone's best interest at heart and did the best you could to meet everyone's needs. Just because one kid had more urgent needs doesn't mean you didn't love the other just as much! [/QUOTE]
