[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle child. [b]Oldest child has ASD and brings no joy to our lives. I love the youngest[/b] but she has a difficult temperament. [/quote]

Do you also love your oldest?[/quote]

No. Used to, but now only feel duty. There is no reciprocity and my child is violent. [/quote]

This is horrible. I bet your child can feel that. It's your job as a parent to love your children unconditionally.[/quote]

I agree.  My oldest child has SN - he has a rare syndrome and requires lots of attention because of his ID and medical issues.  Although he is not violent he does have behavior issues mostly stem from non-compliance and it's exhausting.  But I love him to pieces.  Yes, I get tired of him and luckily we have a wonderful aide who's been with us for years who is great with him.  We also have him go to respite to give me and my husband a break and do things with my youngest that my SN can't do.  We also take turns handling him if he's in "a mood" so we don't get burned out.  My youngest is neurotypical but I can't compare the two (as far as loving one better than the other).   [/quote]
