[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 509454, member: 3419"] ABSOLUTELY, tell her! Goodness, that would explain everything to her! You never know, she may get into some of the teaching things with-him, saying please and thank you and all that ... Not only would I tell her, but I would emphasize that I need her help ... since she is so sensitive and doesn't want to be a bother, this would bring her into the circle. I am so sorry it all worked out that way. It's pretty typical, actually. Family dynamics hoover sometimes. I agree with-Ktlc, that it may get worse b4 it gets better, but as long as you expect that, it should work. Lower your expectations of her, but put a time limit on it. Maybe something relative short, like a wk or 2. Then meet up with-her in person and say something like, 'Now that you've had time to think it over, I wonder what your thoughts are on the topic? Does that explain any of his behaviors to you? Does it help make you feel any better about some of the things that have happened over the yrs? Make more sense? Can I count on you to help us teach him social skills, but not treat him like a baby (a fine line to walk for everyone!)?" Okay, not all in one sentence ... :) [/QUOTE]
