[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 676246, member: 13260"] So hard. I wonder about future troubles with my grandkids. Difficult grandson (9 going on 6) has hurt his sister (7 going on 12), but the she'll turn around and get him going so he gets in trouble. My daughter-in-law--in her early 50s (not related to the children) shared with me about how her brother tortured her when they were younger and she hated him for years. They didn't reconcile until he was dying of cancer many, many years later. In a quiet moment with Difficult grandson, I told him that story and asked if that's he wanted his relationship with his sister to end up like that. I tell you what, blissful peace the rest of the day and nice playing between them. He loves and protects his sister so much, but then will hit her and mess with her until she cries. I remember my older brother doing that to me, too. Some of it's painfully normal, I guess, but resentments about all the attention the "identified patients" in a household receives is a real struggle. [/QUOTE]
