[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 262988, member: 6479"] Oh dear! :) I don't have any advice to offer as to your main questions, but as an ex-easy child, I wondered whether your easy child may be a little too involved. Every time difficult child-IT had a "moment", you say that easy child was out there trying to help....or that you had to tell easy child "he'll be back" when difficult child-IT ran away. I am totally not saying this in any judging kind of way, but how/when did your easy child end up in the role of peacemaker for the family? Or is this just a one-off sort of situation, and this is unusual behavior for easy child, too? Again, I was the easy child in my family, and I played that role quite a bit. It's not healthy for a easy child, if it's a regular thing, in my opinion. He's not the parent, he shouldn't be out there every time, comforting and convincing and supporting, etc - helping, yes, but it sounds like he's made himself the go-to guy for this sort of thing, which seems a bit much. Again, this is just my opinion, and I don't know .0000001% of the details of your situation. :) [/QUOTE]
