[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And a few posts in, we are blaming the parent of course.

OP you need to consult a professional. I would definitely remove all privileges from older child. That’s a big red line. [/quote]

Sounds like the parent is to blame.

The younger son has 'uncontrollable anger' and [i]accidentally[/i] 'elbowed the older son in the jaw'. How TF do you accidentally elbow anyone in their jaw? That's a deliberate provocation.

On top of that the elder son has so little respect for the parent who interfered on the younger son's side that they decided to retaliate against the parent to show them how it feels.

That's poor parenting for both sons.[/quote]

Please clarify how a parent prevents a person from developing “uncontrollable anger,” which is often the result of a mental health challenge. Since you know it all…[/quote]

They don't. But they certainly don't excuse it. And OP never once mentioned any programs she's enrolled the younger son in to help with this, didn't acknowledge that the 'accident' was not an accident at all, and only deescalated the situation to prevent the older boy from physically harming the younger one who deliberately provoked him again and again.

The younger one sounds like a mass shooter in the making and the older one sounds like he's going to leave that family and never come back. Hopefully with a greater respect for women but who knows.[/quote]
