OP, your family power dynamics and the norms of acceptable behavior are completely messed up. You need FAMILY THERAPY as soon as possible to prevent this from getting worse. Your boys both feel violence is acceptable and excusable, and you have not parented them in a way to dissuade them from that belief. You need HELP to get the violence under control before it gets worse. You are setting your boys--and you-- up for real trouble if you let them believe that violence goes unpunished.

I say this kindly from the perspective of someone whose teenage brother was quite violent with me and my mother. You can step in and change things NOW.[/quote]

[b]Where to find the right FAMILY THERAPY to work on messed up family dynamics? [/b]Young teen son has mood regulation problems, can get very angry, throw things, and hurt himself and family members. When he get into fight with older son, I tend to act in a way to ease younger son's anger, but I see this is not working. [/quote]

Call your sons' pediatrician immediately for the first available appointment.  Then go in and speak with the pediatrician.  Ask for a recommendation and then for the pediatrician's help in getting an appointment quickly with that therapist.  You need to move quickly.
