[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m sorry for your kids that you enabled any one of them to be a bully. Parenting kids is so much more than housing, clothing and feeding them. Education begins at home and education in character is the most important obligation of a parent. The interaction between siblings is fertile ground for this education and guidance. As the daughter of parents who allowed and even encouraged my elder sibling to bully me physically and emotionally for my entire childhood and young adulthood until I estranged myself from all three of them at 30, I have no judgment for your daughter. You are lucky she still has a relationship with you. If you want to keep it, you need to STFU about her estrangement from her brother. You let this happen and it is way too late now for you to try to play the fixer. The only thing you should do is apologize to both your kids for failing them as a parent. [/quote]

Maybe so but my son is the victim, my daughter the bully I may have created. Was busy with another son (not the one in the story) who had major behavior problems and so let the daughter off too easily. Now she is a narcissist with much anxiety who is codepandant on us but sasses us like a kid. [/quote]

You were so preoccupied with your older kids with issues.  Are you sure you didn't neglect rather than spoil her?  Did you give her any attention?[/quote]
