[QUOTE="klmno, post: 443161, member: 3699"] Going back to the difficult child issue that I find so hard to shake: I have a hard time distinguishing what aspects in Cindy might have contributed to Casey being the way she is and what aspects in the family dynamics are a [I]result[/I] of Casey being a difficult child. I think I'd like to know that answer because maybe it could help me help my difficult child more and prevent more severe "difficult child-ness" in him. I don't know that I can come up with a definitive "here's where the Anthony's went wrong" answer though. I don't want to become like those idjits most of us warrior moms have had to deal with, in the sense of assuming "they should have tried this", "they didn't give her enough attention" or "they just didn't give enough rewards/consequences". How do we know that they didn't try all that? What was available to them to try 15-20 years ago, or even 5-10 years ago? I don't know if Cindy was always that way or if her controlling nature was the only way she could avoid Casey raging or taking over the household....I just don't know. [/QUOTE]
