[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 625745, member: 15804"] Thanks for the suggestion Echolette. I am not sure I get how you mean it will help with my difficult child being the Identified Patient??? Although obviously I haven't had time to read the entire book yet, I have read a few excerpts and review of the book that you recommended and it appears to be directed at helping the easy child sibling. Recently, the stepmother has worked hard to convince easy child that difficult child has totally ruined her life, is bad, to be avoided as much as possible, spied on, tattled on, and created a huge divide between the kids that didn't exist before. I am trying to find ways to take the entire focus off of difficult child being "bad", see the system as a whole, and most importantly mend their relationship. Does this book address those concerns? I get that easy child may have had to bear the "burden" of being the normal sibling but with the current family dynamics her needs and burdens are being over-addressed to the point where it is causing more damage to their sibling relationship.
