[QUOTE="DDD, post: 31379, member: 35"] I know that you don't have the energy to do it...but...I really think both girls need to be evaluated or at least begin therapy to quell the issues. The carryover from difficult children can completely wreck a family. Many years ago (probably almost 40!!) I read an article written by a child psychiatrist that said something interesting. He said that once the original "bad" child or troublemaker is removed from the family...one or more other children will step into that position. For some reason I have always remembered that and in many cases I think it is true. I don't think it is intentional. The dysfunctional family remains dysfunctional once the catalyst is removed. Your girls are "stepping up to the plate", you are exhausted, your husband has opted to remove himself from the stress. Somehow (perhaps temporary medications?) you need to get a handle on their behavior before it escalates beyond where your difficult child took the family before. PS: I would look forward to the break from them, too. LOL. DDD [/QUOTE]
