[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 82991, member: 3353"] Stands, as awful as things are now with your difficult child? You could lose easy child, too. Things are nowhere near as bad as they could get, Stands. I know this because it happened to us. Our difficult child was once a younger easy child. And we never dreamed this could happen to him in a million years. You need to take appropriate action to protect easy child, not only from the brother stealing from him or her, but from the blow to self-esteem and the injury to self concept that attend interacting frequently with an addicted or troubled sibling. These must be very confusing times for easy child. When we have an addicted or problem child, it is all too easy to slip into a mindset which allows us to take our responsibilities to our other children on the run ~ especially if they seem to be doing well.
