[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1145820, member: 211504"] Maybe the next step is to stop the yelling, crying, and begging, but instead try to treat her with compassion about the situation?She may be just as upset or even more upset than you are. Depression can have odd ways of showing itself. "Middle child syndrome" is definitely a real thing and I've seen it (to a much lesser extent) within my own family. Sometimes people feel as if they aren't receiving affection from those they care about (whether they are or aren't) so they resort to other behaviors that make them feel positively. Unfortunately, those behaviors are often very unhealthy. I'm not sure what I would do if I were in that situation, but I'd like to thing I'd act the way I described above. Of course, it's very easy for me to say all of this when I don't have children of my own. [/QUOTE]
