[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 565775"] I think Susie makes a really good point about the other kids. As much as I worry about our difficult child it has become really clear to me that kicking him out and not having him in the home during all the angst and chaos that is his life has been a huge benefit to my easy child daughter. She is 17 and doing great and applying for college etc. She and I are close and have a great relationship. I dont think we would if my difficult child was still home and causing all the chaost and strife and tension at home. When he was home I was glad for Monday mornings so I could get out of the house and I am sure my daughter would have found any possible to get out of the house. Instead she spends time at home (as well as out with her firends) and she brings her friends here. Home is a peaceful place as it should be. It is so easy as a parent to get caught up in the problems child issues and problems and take the good child for granted...it makes me very glad we had a good therapist for her at the time who helped us see we needed to pay attention to her needs too.
