[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 492246, member: 2315"] Patriotsgirl, I do wish all those things for your difficult child. So glad your holiday went well. Nancy, I too am the victim of parents that favored some of thier kids over others. It is so damaging and now eeven though both of them are long gone my sister and I do not have a good relationship. She and her kids are so "entitled" and snooty. They too are "perfect" (which they are far from) and mine are problems (which they often are but which I will admit). I can't go into all the hurt because it brings it all back to the surface and I prefer to let it tay burried. I have worked hard and getting past it and have seen therapists to hlep me keep it in its place. Unfortunately I am somewhat guilty of playing favorites with my kids also. My easy child has always been good and kind and respectful. Consequently she had more privileges and I prefer to spend time with her over my other children. I try hard now that they are adults not to do this in an ovbious way It isn't always easy though because now she and easy child/difficult child need more of my time than my difficult children, I have accepted that I am an imperfect parent in an imperfect world. But I pride myself on being less imperfect than my own parents and siblings. I work hard at being the best I can be and find outlets for my hurt and anger in my artistic and creative side. Dash I am sorry your sister dumped on you like that and that she couldn't be a gracious host to all her guests. It would have been more appropriate if she had brought up her discontent at another time. If there is a positive side to her behavior at least she got her anger out before you daughter got there. TL, I am happy you got a nice thing from your son. My son writes poetry also but doesn't share it. He even won an award in college. That is the only poem of his I have ever seen. Janet, glad things were peacful around your house. AHF, OH MY! How insensitive and selfcentered you sons behavior was. I am sorry you didn' have a good holiday. Hopefully you can find some peace now tat they are off on their own again Kathy, I understand what you are saying about no growth or improvement even though sober. That is my difficult child#2 to a T. Yes indeed I thank God for this board and my wonderful friends here! [/QUOTE]
