I am at my witts end. I have 7 kids, 4 are grown and on their own (that's another story) but I have 3 still at home. My 12 yr. old son, 10 yr. old son and 7 yr. old daughter. The younger 2 are adopted (at birth). My 10 yr. old has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. My daughter doesn't have any reallly obvious issues except a horrible temper, as does the 10 yr. old. They fight constantly, and it's becoming very physical. It is so bad that they cannot be in the same room without fighting. Today they fought as they were GETTING OFF THE SCHOOL BUS!! I mean, they have to walk about 10 yds. from the bus stop to our front door and by the time they ran in the door they were both screaming, crying, my daughter had been shoved down on the driveway (being the smaller of the two she often gets the short end of the stick when things get physical). This happens almost every day!! They truly seem to hate each other and I don't know what to do. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to help them get along. I know it is common for sibs to fight but this is WAY out of control. PLEASE, if anyone has any suggestions I would be SO THANKFUL!!
