[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still no response about how much time you’ve spent with the childhood special needs versus this daughter.

Also, I’m surprised your therapist hasn’t talked to you about this already. What does your therapist say?[/quote]
Wowzers. OP does not owe you a response to your a-holish questioning. [/quote]

+1, this pp gets nothing. No soup for them! [/quote]

Hold onto that Mulligatawny for one minute...

While the PP may have been a bit blunt there is merit in their questions.

I've seen this dynamic many times. In particular, close friends has one "special" child with a medical condition (which is manageable) and one without. The entire focus of the family revolved around the one child's condition. The "other" child was often an afterthought. We saw this playing out first-hand but of course said nothing because, you know, you can't criticize others' parenting.

It was suggested several times (by school) that the entire family would benefit from counseling. Our friends ignored that advice.

This came to a head during their teen years. The "other" child was obviously affected and suffering from emotional neglect and acted out in ways that essentially ended his life.
