[QUOTE="katya02, post: 237043, member: 2884"] Yes, it's rhetorical. And I do feel sympathy knowing that difficult child lives in this awful aloneness, this perpetual hostility and lack of connection, wanting to be well thought of but resisting all demands that would allow him to show his strengths and good side. It must be horrible to be really disconnected from the people around you, and that's how it seems to be with him. This is where we are. It does seem that learning the hard way, suffering more than he needs to, is the only thing that will get through. And difficult child seems to be the one who always gets caught, always gets the full consequence while his buddies run away free, so he does encounter the hard consequences. But that just seems to increase his resentment at 'the system'. I still want and hope good things for him. But it'll probably get worse before it gets better. [/QUOTE]
