[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 410907, member: 393"] Sharon, I so know that feeling & kt & wm do not live under the same roof. The buttons keep being pushed thru "friends". I agree with LDM about basic decency when it comes to easy child/difficult child. I put my foot down with the tweedles when it came to their antics & terms of endearment toward me. Just not acceptable. I let the both of them know the real world isn't going to care about xyz in their lives ~ they still had to live up to social norms. easy child/difficult child must do the same. Does loss of privilege help? What is easy child/difficult children currency? As to torturing her little brother that is just plain wrong. The reality is that she has a seriously mentally ill sibling; no different than if he had cancer or something of that nature. While she may feel "shorted" we all know that isn't the case. easy child/difficult child has more privileges & takes advantage of them at her whim. Either easy child/difficult child is as seriously ill as her brother & shouldn't have those privileges or she should see the situation as it is ~ she's in a better place. Sharon, sweetie, I know I'm preaching to the choir. Maybe easy child/difficult child needs hospitalization herself. If therapist & psychiatrist are that concerned it may be time to take care of business. Being a verbal bully to her difficult child brother needs to be addressed as well. Have you all tried family therapy with difficult child included. A good therapist will lay down rules & boundaries. Major ((((hugs)))) this morning. [/QUOTE]
