[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I should have been more clear in my in my original post that the hitting the ADHD child was doing was when they were small.  We do disclipline the ADHD child and the NT child for bad behavior.  We have also been clear with the NT child to leave the parenting to us.  We have told them both that we would rather have them be allies against DH and me because there will come a point when they will only have each other to rely on.

The ADHD child has received years of therapy and is on meds. I completely understand where the NT child’s feelings come from, but I am also sympathetic to the fact that the ADHD child is still working on controlling his behaviors.  I can honestly say that we don’t favor one child over the other.  They are very different kids and we love them both.

The idea of family therapy with both kids going is something I haven’t done and is worth exploring. Thank you for that suggestion. The constant arguing and animosity between the kids now is something that I wish we knew how to overcome because I am at my wits end. They will be at different schools next year, so maybe that will help. [/quote]
