[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is going to sound completely random and may not be helpful.

But I have been reading some of the books my kids read, just to see what they're learning/thinking, and because I sometimes really like the books. I just read Judy Blume's "Here's to you Rachel Robinson." The protagonist (a 13 year old) has an older brother who sounds a little like your son. The book is partly about the huge extent to which his issues dominate and disrupt family life in his house and cause everyone a lot of stress. Of course, because it's Judy Blume, it's somewhat resolved by the end (not entirely.) And of course, because it's Judy Blume, she doesn't really go into that much depth. But it got me thinking about the various ways other people in the family contribute to one member's obnoxiousness. The ways in which it's really hard to give someone new chances if you live together and are seeing each other several times a day, every day.

Have you considered family therapy? So the family dynamics as a whole could be addressed?[/quote]
