[QUOTE="DDD, post: 555757, member: 35"] I have "kinda" been there done that with husband and difficult child#1. It's been a decade but husband and I have yet to have an honest conversation about our differing perspectives. The major differences between your post and my experience is that my husband has NEVER expressed negative reactions to ANYONE in the family....he has personality changes where he avoids the child who has disappointed him and is a bit curt. One on one with me however he has said things that are really quite cruel about difficult child#1. He was a "star" athlete. husband is a very quiet man who "glowed" rather than boasted. He (husband) was the one who started him learning sports as a toddler. Without all the gory details we also lived through the "falling of the star"...in a small community. The wounds have not, and will not, ever really heal. Sigh. I wish I had great advice to share from the perspective of a very experienced parent/grandparent. Sorry. The one thing I will offer to you is this...the perspective divide can result in irrevocable issues for years to come. Think it through and make your decision wisely. Caring and understanding hugs coming your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
