Difficult Child always had trouble in school (although he's been tested and he's quite bright...he has a visual processing disability and because of this he finds school very difficult)...he's an average athlete at best. i'm sure the fact that his older brother excelled in so many ways was very difficult for Difficult Child to cope with...Difficult Child annoyed the hell out of his older brother when they were younger thru elementary school. my well adjusted son was embarrassed by him. wouldn't defend him on the school bus when he acted up....eventually we had to start driving Difficult Child to school every day...just to avoid the difficulties on the bus. that was elementary school. once Difficult Child went to middle school he seemed to control himself a little better socially. he didn't mind taking the bus and the boys got along better. i wonder if the drugs contributed to his adjustment...maybe he was self medicating...i don't know...the boys are quite close now. but my well adjusted son cannot get thru to him. he's tried hard to knock sense into Difficult Child. nothing seems to work.
