[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 748237, member: 23706"] Copa, yes, what you say is right, I think. It has always been a challenge to find interests in common with Kay although we tried so hard the other two kids felt left out and told us we spent so much time with Kay and her interests. For example, we are a DNA of fantastic athletes and Kay is very uncoordinated, but she is a wonderful artist and musician. Many times my other two kids didnt have us in the stands while they played basketball because Kay was doing a recital and we felt she needed us more. And none of us can play a note on an instrument! Her gifts,which she wasted, fascinated us. Still do. We also tend to have a certain dry sense of humor that Kay doesnt appreciate and rolls her eyes at. Her sense of humor is just out there and she is loud and boisterous while the rest of us are quiet, very cautious about our manners and embarassed when people look at us because Kay is SO loud! All those years with us, in our environment, did not make Kay anything like the rest of us or us like her. This surprised me. I thought nurture over nature was the way it is. I no longer think so. Now we loved and love Kay the same as the orhers. Sometimes I even think her pain made me love her the most. Yes, this shames me, but life was so hard for her and she needed us so much. Life was smooth and easy for my others. It is ironic now to me that Kay is threatening to cut us out of her life. We were there when she had nightmares, when she showed us that she cut herself, when she needed homework help, when she had no friends. Now she is throwing us away. I do not think my other two are very understanding of her. They hate how she is treating us and tell us to let her be. Well, I have to let her be. But it is the hardest thing I have ever done. Thus my mission. I hope my husband joins me. Kay's drama is making his health deteriorate. [/QUOTE]
