When he expresses that he feels unloved, maybe your reply should be that you love him and always will, but you don't always like things that he does. Hopefully he can see the difference.
My difficult child makes comments sometimes about what we do for easy child daughter, now that he doesn't live home, but fortunatley I think he realizes very quickly that us painting her room doesn't compare to what we have done for him over the last 1 1/2 years. I think it's just that the things we did for him weren't always visible. There was nothing visible at the end of paying attorney fees as there is when we paint a room or buy new bedroom furniture for easy child. What we did for him cost much much more.
