[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 699572, member: 1233"] One thing that helped my daughter keep her sanity was her best friend's family. They lived a few blocks away and really reached out to help. They would allow my daughter to come over day or night, even when they were not home. They gave J her own key to their home!!! So Jess could escape when she needed to. It was a godsend. They were one of the few who didn't ostracize us because of our oldest's violence. We told them about the problem because we couldn't have their daughter spend the night - my oldest would have terrorized her. I had to explain why we couldn't reciprocate the sleepovers their daughter invited my daughter for. They actually thanked us for not putting their daughter in the middle. The dad even had a few talks with Wiz about how harming his sister was wrong and he would regret it later or would end up in prison or a locked hospital. When he was in a locked hospital, they would have my daughter over after school to lighten her day if I had to be at the hospital over an hour away. Later they asked me for help because their youngest got violent, and my daughter is actually the one who stopped their youngest daughter's violence. She openly told the girl how what Wiz did hurt her, and how it was a nightmare for her, and did the girl want her big sis to feel so scared and mad, or to lash back out at her? It was a real eye opener for the girl, and it got the girl to participate in the therapy that turned her around. (My J has a real gift for this type of thing!) Therapy also helped my daughter greatly. Just having someone to talk to other than Mommy was a big help. Both kids saw the same therapist, so the doctor was able to use what J told her to help Wiz, which was good. But even if only your other child sees a therapist, it can be a big help. [/QUOTE]
