[QUOTE="buddy, post: 507704, member: 12886"] Can you arrange for easy child to have her own counselor so she can work through difficult child sib issues and to help her learn to deal with stress. My sister is very anxious, has panic attacks etc. One child is a difficult child in the making the other just so anxious because of all the house drama and it is hard for my sister not to let him see her own anxieties and he has not developed the best coping skills. So he goes to a counselor of his own, she is hoping he can gain tools to use and even avoid passing this on to his kids some day... not that it is her fault, not saying that, she just knows her issues do affect them to a degree not to mention the toll that having an explosive sibling has on him. I would just start chanting a mantra... not my problem... etc. write it out on post its and put them on the bathroom mirror if you need to... breathe, follow the plan calmly, etc. Remember to keep the rules you want from the second she is home, including computer use (no just fifteen minutes more etc... you know she pushes that, smile.....) bedtime etc. will be there holding your hand thru cyber space!
