[QUOTE="FrustratedToNoEnd, post: 528868, member: 14563"] Wow. Thanks for the responses. My sibling is my older sister, the boys' mother. She's in her 30's. She's an emotionally and psychologically immature person. I think she's got a kind heart, but she's not fit to be a mother. She had the boys really young and basically dropped them on my parents. She lives next door, so she's around. But as far as motherly duties, she doesn't cut it. No diagnoses I'm aware of. As stated, the boys have lived with my parents their whole life. Earlier years were pretty good. As I alluded to in my OP, the 9-year old was always a handful. But never out of control. The anger and the inability to control his behavior has really surfaced over the past two years or so. Here's the thing. I think the physicians we've been to or more concerned about treating him or giving him something to ease the symptoms. I'm not certain they've cared too much about what was actually wrong with him. I think you all bring up some good points about diagnosis. I think it's a good idea to see what we're actually up against. But, dang, my parents have been suckered into so many things, they're pretty beat down. They're sort of pessimistic about trying new avenues, even though they're desperate. They even spoke about military school, even though I'm not certain that's the best option. But, yes, all the acronyms and diagnoses can be overwhelming. :-/ [/QUOTE]
