[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 325775, member: 6546"] Aerong describes well how we handle our household, too... husband and I are on constant alert to keep the kids separated and keep DS protected from his older sister. We even allowed DS to speak to a sheriff's deputy and report a threat that difficult child made against him. The police (who have been out to our home several times now) have always been great about talking to DS, they take him very seriously, they encourage him to do well in school. These interactions with law enforcement have been very empowering for DS. It helps him to feel less vulnerable to difficult child and also makes him feel good about making the "right" choices in life. Hopefully, things in your household will not get so bad as to need the police... But I agree with the others, these kids are smart....and they may be experiencing more than we, as parents, are aware of. Do not let them feel isolated--as it only makes them more vulnerable to an abusive older sibling....make available as many resources as you can. Sending ((((hugs)))) --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
