I have never favored one child over another. I am there for all three of my children my oldest 25, middle child is 23(going thru a very bad and abusive divorce) and my youngest who has to go thru so much with her 2 oldest sisters she is only 14. My oldest is loved very much and gets a lot of attention her and I actually are in business together as realtor's. When my oldest was going thru a bad period in time I was there for her as well....now unforuntally it is her sister that is dealing with crap now. We are a very close family...but the issue that her sister is going thru has hurt this entire family no one really knows how to handle things because we have never had to go thru someone abusing one of our family members...the other thing is I think my oldest is going thru that she feels like she should be able to protect her sister and cant. My oldest has always been the one that has more or less rescued her sister...from toddler to present. My middle daughter has always been the weaker of the 3 and it's hard for all of us to see what she going thru and feel like our hands are tied. Domestic Abuse on your child and sibling is a very hard thing to handle. Thank you for your advise.
