[QUOTE="beam-me-up, post: 683204, member: 20174"] I added my signature, SLSH. :) There is only me in the house but there are places that Easy Child can go if he has to leave. To be honest there are very few circumstances when they are alone together. It's more the petty day to day stuff. For example, she might target where he is sitting and demand that spot. Or he'll be watching something and she just changes the channel. These might be little things individually but they are not little to him. Especially when she does it constantly. So, if I am not in the room when it happens and he tells me, he looks (and feels) like he is being whiney. Privately, I tell him to try not to get confrontational with her but he asks me - then what can I do, have I just to let her push me around? The big blowouts are bad but these constant niggling and unpleasant power plays are also very wearing. I don't really know what to tell my boy to do because I don't know what to do myself. Is it worth another rage and breakage over who sits closest to the phone charger? So she gets away with it again and I have just enabled it, haven't I? Difficult Child has not had any kind of formal diagnosis yet. Other than admitting that yes, she is very difficult, I have not had a discussion with my son about how Difficult Child behaves this way because she is ill not because she is evil. I am not sure how much difference it will make to him when I do tell him. He still has to live through it every day. :( [/QUOTE]
