[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 112394, member: 3388"] Sharon, I'm sorry that easy child is being such a difficult child!!! [img]:grrr:[/img] [img]:sad:[/img] I think, as someone else has already said, that part of the problem may be due to her age. My easy child is close in age to your easy child and I notice that she is getting more and more moody and self-centered. She still apologizes when she is wrong, but is distancing herself from me a bit. I think part of this is typical teen behavior. Her life revolves around her friends, clothes, music, and boys. She has less patience for her difficult child brothers. She definitely starts arguments with her difficult child brothers on purpose some times. I think she is angry over having to live with them and deal with the constant chaos they create on a daily basis. Although starting arguments with her brothers is wrong, I understand how resentful and angry she is for having her life turned upside down by them so many times. No matter how hard I try to make her life as "normal" as possible while also raising difficult children, it is difficult. Like Linda, we have had to give up some of our family traditions and rituals because of the behaviors of our difficult children. I know this affects my easy child in a very negative way. It also makes me very sad. As I always say, life with difficult children, no matter how much you love them, has a negative impact on everyone. I wish I knew how to change this. I hope today is a better day for you. [img]:flower:[/img] WFEN [/QUOTE]
