[QUOTE="Andy, post: 160663, member: 5096"] Do your younger children feel safe when your 16 yr old son is home? I bet they are scared. I would suggest looking into why your 13 yr old doesn't leave the house (though you may already know?). Last Fall, my 11 yr old fell apart - he was refusing to leave home - just couldn't handle it. We got him the help he needed (diagnosed with deep anxiety and is on medications) and now he will go to school, ball practice etc. My easy child was a brat who would take her anger off on difficult child from when she was 8 and he was 2. I didn't realize how bad/often that happened and am certain most if not all of difficult child's anxiety come from how easy child has treated him through the years. Your younger kids may be the target of your 16 yr old's anger in ways you are not aware. [/QUOTE]
