[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 422738, member: 6705"] Amy - welcome! I'm glad you found us... And sorry you had to. :hugs: I certainly understand the frustration and feelings of hopelessness... While all of our kids are different, some have things in common. From what I understand, my Onyxx was like this as a child. That's not to say your son will be a carbon copy! But I can relate. Is there any history of mental illness in your family, or your husband's? You may not know... Or you may only suspect. Genetically speaking, these things do pass down. Also... Any trauma, major events? I can understand your daughter giving in. However there are a couple of issues here. One is that he has come to learn that if he throws a tantrum long enough, she will give in. Another is that sooner or later (or already), she may really, really resent him and the attention he is getting. This is not a pretty thing... can lead to more issues, down the road. What are the odds she can just leave the room? I know with siblings, ignoring doesn't work too well. There will be others along shortly with more info, but I wanted to say hi and welcome! [/QUOTE]
