Really? I believe a child will do just about anything to ensure their existance, otherwise, so many of us would not even be...Alive.

I would NEVER CONDONE the abuse of one child over the other, nor use it as an excuse for it to continue. I would not be shy in standing up for a child's rights, either!

It happens so much that a parent favors a child over their other children-- and it could be the case in this situation--- but maybe not..... It's hard to say---

This just really hits a nerve with me- I don't mean any offense to you or anyone here.

None taken, especially with an incredibly VALID point!

Do we ever know the extent to which our behaviours affect others? If we did, we would not be able to survive!

I believe, that we are the ones that feel the pain of the world, most especially for the children that we know come behind us - in a world even notoriously more vicious than what we grew up in!

I can't even imagine THAT kind of pain, because I am too screwed up with my own!
