[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 693216, member: 17635"] Night Owl, Finding the kite was surely unsettling, and a bittersweet moment for you. It was poignant to read about it. While I cannot remember something quite as sweet with my Difficult Child, husband and I both reminisce about his laugh and jokes; Difficult Child could be hilarious. ONE thing husband and I judged wrong was [B]not getting Difficult Child out of the house earlier.[/B] We called the police, but they would not remove him because he had not threatened us. They could not act simply based on the misery in our home. We should have gone to the next step. Meanwhile, we told his younger brother and sister to [I]just ignore Difficult Child. [/I]Things will be okay, if you just [I]ignore him. [/I]HA Years later, we heard more from them, stories they did not at the time. They were terrorized/traumatized. husband and I have such huge regrets about subjecting them to years of that. It was wrong for them to deal with that because their parents wanted to believe it would all level out. It did not. It could not. You will not regret your decision down the road, knowing you did right by all your beloved offspring. Stay with us, SS [/QUOTE]
