[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 175790, member: 1157"] Welcome. I, too, have two difficult children. When Youngest first started acting out, I assumed it was more mimicking and a reaction to Oldest getting all the attention. But as it progressed I saw it was very definitely "abnormal" behavior. I agree that therapy is a must for your youngest ... if you don't think he responded well with the last therapist, keep looking. It took me several tries to find one that worked well with both girls, and with me. We did some individual sessions as well as some family ones. I also was (still am) a single mom raising them .. with an ex who thought it was all my fault, and sabotaged left and right. So, I feel for you there as well, believe me. Dealing with two difficult children all by yourself is exhausting .. and you sometimes feel like a bouncing ball, back and forth... mine competed for my attention constantly and what attention I did give them never seemed to be enough.
