[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 278985, member: 3450"] Please listen to Suz, she has it right. My difficult child 2/easy child was being abused by her older sister and we didn't know it. She seemed "fine", she was the perfect child. She had to seem fine because her sister threatened her with all sorts of things and she believed her. It wasn't til we sent the older sister to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that difficult child 2 felt safe enough to tell someone the hell she had been going through--she was 13 at the time. She started dissociating at a very young age to cope with the abuse. I wouldn't at all be surprised if that is what your 5 year old is doing. It is the only coping mechanism she has living with a stepbrother who is so scary. I really think these 2 girls should be the priority here. I agree with you that your stepson's therapist seems to have no regard for the victims here--my difficult child 1's therapist was the same way and we bent over backwards trying to help her at the expense of my other 2 kids. I would never ever do that again if I could do it over. I would put the other 2 kids first. I truly think you should leave with the 2 girls if husband is going to keep up his attitude--please don't "throw them under the bus". Sincerely, Jane [/QUOTE]
