Lisa, your heartbreak comes through loud and clear, breaks my heart too. It's unfortunate that easy child won't listen to you at all...you'd think watching you with Travis all her life would make her more open to at least checking it out with Connor. Like IC said, keep doing what you're doing. Some impact is better than no impact and I'm certain that Connors exposure to you is helping.
difficult child has spoken to me multiple times about E's youngest son. He's a cutie, he is 9 and has many issues, including vision and hearing. He was a preemie and literally bounces off the walls and all objects and is LOUD. But still lovable. His mom is a whacko and difficult child tries to have some kind of impact on him when he's with E and her, but they only get the boys once a week. She even encouraged E to go to the school to get copies of his records so difficult child could see if he's been evaluated or has any special services-E didn't have a clue. She hates that they spend so much time redirecting and reprimanding this little boy the entire time he's with them but his mom deliberately omits his medications on that day!
I think if easy child had a special difficult child it would be difficult to speak with her about it. She's always sort of behaved superior because she was a easy child and not a difficult child, absolutely abhorring difficult child's meltdowns and impulsive behavior, I bet it would be difficult for her to admit or acknowledge that she had given birth to a difficult child, Know what I mean?? Could that be part of your pcs issue?
Hugs, Nana.
