[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 625320, member: 17461"] difficult child son was the younger of my two children. easy child with a bullet. As difficult child daughter began acting out, running away, going to treatment ~ just generally sucking all the air out of the room ~ the necessary balance that should exist in a home was destroyed. husband and I were unhappy, I was guilt ridden. People told us and told us "Don't worry so much about difficult child daughter. Parent easy child son." He was such a straight arrow ~ funny, handsome, popular, so bright. He wanted and worked a paper route before he could drive. Was hired at a classy dinner club at 16, where he would have worked his way up to bartender and done that through college. The next year, he was running for Student Council President...and then all at once it seemed, he was gone. I don't know that we've seen our real son more than two or three times, since then. He hated it when difficult child would come home from one treatment center or another. Hated the terrible people she hung around with and brought to the house. Hated that she would go into his room, that his parents' attention was all about difficult child daughter and the police and the courts and the bad people.... If there is any way to do it, if there is anywhere else she can go, don't let difficult child daughter come home. Though I post about difficult child son being responsible for what he did, and that is true...I don't believe he would have turned his life into what it became had we followed recommendations and refused to allow difficult child daughter to come home. You don't want to lose easy child 13. Cedar [/QUOTE]
