[QUOTE="ML, post: 76663"] I like what ww said about the entanglement and entitlement web. That is me and my son to a 't'. But having said that, I have known depression in my life and I have had to go through feeling like my mother loved my siblings more than me. My brothers needed her more and therefore got the balance of her attention. There were health considerations and also, I was the quiet easy child who didn't make any demands. Then one day I was an adult and realized that I never got those needs met. I mourned that for a while and then (as Fran said about her kids) I realized it was time for me to get over it. No one else can make that deep pain, that empty feeling go away. It can only be filled from within. The good news is that your difficult child is learning that stuff now so hopefully by the time she's my age she'll have it together [img]:smile:[/img] You really are a great mom. Just keep doing what you're doing and she will realize how much love is available to her. MicheleL [/QUOTE]
