[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 636030, member: 15473"] Option B is that your difficult child makes her difficult child look good. LOL Seriously though it may make it easier for her to say well my difficult child isn't that bad. Plus she may think that since her difficult child is less self destructive she has done a better job raising her than you did him. Twisted and stupid but I have seen it and felt it happen often. I remember once I worked at a volunteer place and we had a volunteer who was consistently there and had been around forever. We all depended on her even though we were well aware she took advantage of the situation. She was difficult to deal with, sometimes mean, and took things home and or stored them away for her friends instead of putting them out for the public. All that was overshadowed by the fact she knew what she was doing and was dependable. Many of the other volunteers werent and thought they could get away with doing the things she did without consequence. They often pushed it even further which made them look really bad and her look like an angel. Turned out we went through volunteers like crazy because this lady ran them off or taught them bad habits that got them asked to leave. Long story short the dependable lady was the bad apple but we couldn't see that through the weeds of all the less dependable volunteers. Things changed drastically as soon as she was told to leave. Anyway your difficult child may be taking the light off of her difficult child for a change... [/QUOTE]
