[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 604271, member: 15810"] I have a big age gap between difficult child and easy child, too, and it can be very hard on the younger sibling when the older one melts down and gets destructive. Been there, done that, have the tee shirt to prove it. I think it's vital for your younger child to have things to do outside the house, especially during the summer time. It gives your younger child time away from your difficult child and the problems that go along with him, and it gives her time to do things that are just hers. We've done that and it's made a big difference for easy child. He's made friends and found interests that difficult child wants nothing to do with, and I like it that way. They each have their own things that they do so they can each be a star without the sibling rivalry. I've had times where husband completely looses it with difficult child, so I know how frustrating that can be. Honestly I would just let them ignore each other for now until every has cooled off. Eventually they will have to speak to each other, and by then it should be calmer. Has your son's aggression gotten worse since starting the risperdal? I would speak to the doctor as soon as possible about it because he can't be allowed to contine this because someone is going to get hurt. Why was he in the psychiatric hospital? Did they say anything about the aggression towards the family? [/QUOTE]
