[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 390794, member: 8831"] great topic is right! my way of dealing with it was not understanding the enormity of the feelings from difficult child 2's perspective, and just [I]assuming[/I] she understood everything and was accepting of it. its always been "that way" since she was born and she knows no different...except she got older, had friends who's life was very different, saw the other side of life, etc... wrong move on my part. if i had it to do over again, i'd have put difficult child 2 in some kind of therapy or sibling workshop or somewhere there were families like ours. she rightly should have had a safe place to air her feelings without judgement or to ask more questions or whatever. even now that she is in therapy, the focus really isnt on her feelings toward difficult child 1 (and i need to make mention of it [I]again[/I]!) i just wouldn't have assumed. i think its even harder for an older teen.
