[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 543475, member: 14356"] Firehorsewoman - I know how you feel. My easy child has told me she hates difficult child. This was when we were in major crisis a couple of months ago. There is still 'stuff' going on but it has calmed considerably and is not as stressful as it was. When difficult child was out of the house things were calm and orderly, no fighting, so much less stress - then he came home and everything ramps ups again. It is so hard for easy child's to endure this turmoil because of the difficult child's. Even though my easy child is 3 years younger she has always been a friend and emotional support to my difficult child. She has always shown tremendous patience with him and has even guided him and helped him with things as well. I'd be interested to hear about that Sibsupport website and the book you ordered. Might help with my easy child. I don't have any other suggestions for you except what you've already described. One on one time for easy child - a mother/daughter shopping day, a movie without difficult child, a trip out for ice cream when difficult child is at an appointment?, making sure she has time to enjoy life and friends and forget about difficult child stuff for a while, counselling. We do that with easy child and if something difficult child has done causes her to miss out on something we try to make it up to her in some way - not always because life does have disappointments but a lot of the time - partly because I don't want her to have so much animosity towards difficult child. Wish I had more ideas. Maybe someone else does. [/QUOTE]
