[QUOTE="Getting happier, post: 15050, member: 1241"] I truly understand how you feel. My difficult child has the same type of thinking. I try to do more for him or at least the same but he still says my easy child gets the best treatment. He has a view of the world - like he is persecuted. He thinks people are all out to get him. He had a moment of self awareness when a man told him he should not be so sensitive, but it seems as though he cannot change his thinking or behavior. The language was awful, I would tell him that I do not like to hear those words, that never stopped him. Finally when he hit his sister, who he has been terrible to and whose life he made miserable, I told him he could not live here. He is 18 yr old. After few weeks of having to be late to work to take him to his job and having to pick him up everynight I told him he could come back when he works, just to sleep and go to work. His foul language is less. He is nicer to me, but continues to hate easy child for what he sees as favoritism, he thinks she has the perfect life. She works in school and is respectful. He does not see that he was rude obnoxious and did nothing in highschool, he never got Highschool diploma. From what I see the only way people with his way of thinking learn anything is the hard way and then that only reaffirms to him that life is out to get him. I think a miracle from God would change him and that is all. Nothing has altered my difficult child's negative and self defeating behavior yet. Sharon [/QUOTE]
