[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 91884, member: 2211"] I tried to balance the need for easy child to understand difficult child's difficult child-ness while at the same time protecting her from emotional and physical abuse from difficult child. It wasn't easy and I know that on some level I failed...but I did the best I could. I think that I taught them each empathy and that one day that empathy will come into play and they will be okay with one another. I always tried to avoid estrangement, you know? They were such cute little girls and best buddies for so long and then one day a switch was flipped and they weren't buddies anymore. easy child lost the ability to break difficult child's raging spells by making her laugh and difficult child felt completely misunderstood by easy child. Well, easy child did not understand, so she wasn't completely off. [/QUOTE]
