[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Older son is grounded. No tech. No keys. No going anywhere. No paying, cooking, cleaning, no lifting a finger for him. He needs a lecture by both parents about how he CANNOT hit his parents, no matter the provocation.

2. Separately, you need to understand how you've created this situation by constantly expecting him to take the younger sibling's abuse. Cornered people will lash out, OP. Consider it your wake-up call before he spends his adult life hating you and needing therapy because you did not protect him from the monster sibling.

3. Separately, you need to do better with your younger child. I suppose you have updated his neuropsychological evaluation, and the psychiatrist is on top of medication?  I haven't read beyond the first post, but his medical/behavioral needs really must not be allowed to spill over like this. I know that with severe mental  health disorders it can be very difficult to deal with, and expensive in-patient programs might be necessary, but since you didn't actually come out with the name of a severe disorder in the OP, it looks as though you're just not doing your best.

Very well said, especially point 2. It’s very easy for parents to forget the perspective of the less troubled sibling (s).[/quote]
