[QUOTE="bran155, post: 205377"] Thanks so much for all of the support. :) Terry, to answer your question, my son barely interacts with his sister at all. It is quite sad. I feel so bad for my daughter, however I can totally understand my sons feelings. She tries so hard to be nice to him, hug him, kiss him, tickle him, play with him, anything at all to gain his affections and he just pushes her away every time!!! He is mean to her and I try to validate his feelings as he has every right to be resentful towards her. He has seen her verbally abuse the people he loves the most in the world. She really doesn't mistreat him, he is probably the only one in her life that she is decent to. She has had her moments with him, she gets frustrated with him because he rejects her. She has never been abusive towards him in anyway. She is more on the defense when it comes to him. She is hurt that he doesn't like her so she gets nasty with him to cover up her sadness. On a rare occasion he might give her the time of day, maybe for a few minutes and that's about it. When she was away in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he missed her terribly. He used to draw her all kinds of pictures and talk about her constantly. He used to tell me he missed her and when ever we were in a store, any kind of store, he would find something he wanted to buy for her. It was very sweet. When we used to visit her or she would come home for a visit he wanted her attention so badly, he was all over her. Then when she came home that quickly faded. He put his wall of protection up quickly, within a couple of weeks. He now is like the rest of us......FED UP!! It really breaks my heart because she just loves him so much. I hope when he gets older he will understand that she is ill and doesn't mean to be this abrasive. Motherhood s*cks!!! [/QUOTE]
