[QUOTE="ksm, post: 700243, member: 12511"] It does put you in a difficult position. One of my main concerns is the younger brother...how often does he spend time with you and his mom? Is he doing ok in school? Was the police called when the son got physical? Was there any consequences? Your wife should be able to contact the school an find out how he is doing. And talk to the school counselor. Does he have a 504 or IEP plan? Even if you can't get your son to therapy, maybe you and she could have a few sessions to put yourselves on the same page? Again...my concern is for younger brother...our two adopted granddaughters are two years apart. And from 14 on, older sis was a pain to live with! It was emotionally hard on younger sis. Now she is out of our home and things are better. Younger child seems to be blossoming. Just going to the same high school was difficult for her. We realized that all our energy was going to one child because she was the squeaky wheel... Good luck. KSM [/QUOTE]
