[QUOTE="DDD, post: 29637, member: 35"] There is, I think, a very common dysfunction that doesn't surface when you have PCs in a household amok due to one or more difficult children. I read it very often here and try to gently warn the parents. Often your successful child feels the need to be perfect to make up for the problems in the family. PCs, because they ARE PCs and sensitive caring individuals, very often hide their feelings about the pain and anger that is normal when a family has to live with difficult child issues. I have two awesome adult easy child children (plus three easy child adult step children) and all five of them have been impacted by GFGmom. My outstanding RN daughter and honcho law enforcement son did not openly share how they felt until adulthood. There is a group at my daughters hospital that stumbled onto the subject of difficult child siblings one day and she found out in her 30's that she was not alone...every one of these high achieving adults harboured unhappiness from having a sibling that caused embarrassment and stress. Most of them had Moms who spent quality one-on-one time with them. Almost all still maintain loving relationships with parents BUT they still resent the inequities that difficult children bring to families. I don't think there is an answer but stifling emotions is not the healthy path. DDD [/QUOTE]
