[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 598618, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Unfortunately, by the time difficult child was in "full swing" bonehead and I were separated so I was on my own. On the flip, fortunately my easy child was my daughter was a gentle, understanding soul who was five years older and was 13 when difficult child imploded. Being a single parent, it was all I could do to focus on difficult child's needs. easy child was, and has always been, a really good kid. I spent as much time with her as I could and made sure that my house was the hang out house which meant I could give more since she and her friends were always here. She and her friends pretty much grew up here from middle through high school and still, four years out from high school graduation, still call me Mother Sharon! Sometimes it was late at night sitting in her room, sometime it was early on a school morning, or in the afternoon when difficult child was involved in a tv show, but I made sure easy child and I had time to talk and bond. I truly believe that a big part of how our easy child's handle their siblings is built in to who they are - the other is the "nuture" part but not just how we treat them. Even bigger is the example we set for how we treat others and how we handle hardship or conflict. Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
