[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 657728, member: 13561"] Thanks to all who replied and again, everything is absorbed! My Easy Child is not in any danger from my Difficult Child. Difficult Child loves and admires Easy Child and wants his approval. He's also scared of him, as Easy Child eats healthy, works out and has bulked up over the past few years. He could kick Difficult Child's arse and he knows it. Easy Child also has iron clad boundaries. He lives with his dad, so when Difficult Child has come around, Easy Child is always given an equal role and a say as to whether Difficult Child can come through the door, stay the night or even just for 10 minutes. My ex is very aware that Easy Child had to go to hell and back growing up and is very protective and respectful of Easy Child's input. When I was on vacationing out of the country one time, the boys were arguing and Difficult Child was pushing ECs buttons and provoking him. Easy Child punched Difficult Child in the face (first time that had EVER happened) and then said to him,"Now you know how Mom felt". This was after the ICU incident. Difficult Child never tried to get physical with him after that... The two boys ebbed and flowed in their friendships and closeness while they were growing up. They didn't really have a lot of shared interests, but they did have times when they enjoyed being around each other. I know when DCs friends came around, Easy Child usually was included in their group. Apparently one day, DCs friends must all have been doing some drug taking, and Easy Child looked at them all and especially at his older brother and thought , "I don't want to be like him". From that moment on, he began to lead a healthy lifestyle and change his life around. Very proud of him for having and displaying that strength of character! [/QUOTE]
