[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 543519, member: 14557"] This is something we still struggle and our difficult child is already adult and out of house, lives three hours away and mostly visits only once a month for day or two, though right now he is spending more time home during his summer holiday. Our easy child is three years younger and their relationship is complicated, has always been. difficult child has never been physically violent so that helps. But he can be mean and verbally vicious and has been in past. Nowadays that is not really a problem between them any more. easy child has also always had most of his dad's attention on him, difficult child has been more my problem. But still, stress difficult child has caused us has affected also easy child. We live in smallish community (and unfortunately have rather uncommon surname) and difficult child's troubles and bad reputation is something easy child resents and some of it even reflects to easy child - at least in some people's minds. I have also worried if difficult child and his issues change too much about how I respond to easy child's typical teen behaviours. So I have no answers, just sympathy. [/QUOTE]
