i have several problems I have been trying to deal with over the past few years.
I have 2 boys aged 10 and 8 and they fight constantly. (i mean brawling up to 6 times a day)
the eldest one is a difficult child and has severe anger problems, he gets into a rage and cant seem to control himself. we have tried a psychologist with no luck (for a long period). We have tried to get him to take 3 deep breaths to relax him but he refuses to do it.
we have tried reward charts, etc but nothing works
His little brother seems to make it his motive in life to taunt him in any way shape or form, just to get a reaction.
What ends up happening is they fight, there is a big "he said" "no he is lying" and i never can tell who started it or who is to blame, so they both get in trouble.
My oldest son is talking about "lying down in the middle of the road and dying" and feeling "dead and empty" inside as he feels we never are on his side.
I am on the verge of a breakdown,my husband doesnt know what to do, we have tried taking everything (and i mean everything) from them they just will not do what they are told ......
any help would be gratefully received.
thanks in advance
