[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 634637, member: 17461"] The impact on the siblings' private lives -- teachers, friends' families, sadness at holidays -- are peripheral issues to us while we try to manage the difficult child. That means addressing our own guilt issues over where we went wrong. It means the changed dynamic between the parents and extended family while everyone is blaming whichever parent is the one who married in and the difficult child is triangulating for all she is worth. It changes everything, forever, for the easy child because it changes the family's understanding of who we are and what we stand for. There is so much rage, such a feeling of helplessness, for the easy child. Echo, I have never heard the full story of why your difficult child slept In the entryway. That must have been such a hard time for all of you, Echo. It's just unbelievable what we all have had to accommodate, what we've had to accept as normal in our traumatized families. Cedar [/QUOTE]
