[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 676385, member: 11791"] You might be dealing with more than just the list of challenges given for the son. For one, likely some level of PTSD from being on the sidelines of his sister's life. HE needs help. But he also needs YOU. Can you find a way to carve out specific time for him, in a non-stressed environment, for the two of you? Like, take him out for coffee once or twice a week, or go watch a sports event if that's your mutual interest... any environment where it's possible to talk but not totally necessary to do so. Just give of yourself. Invest in him. It's not too late. (but it IS hard to get the time... takes a real consistent effort, due to the tendency of the most challenging child to swallow up all available resources... ) [/QUOTE]
