I'm having a hideous weekend. DH is abroad on business and (at present un-diagnosed) 6yo DtS2 has gone back into a phase of poor behaviour in the last week, following a goodish period since before Christmas.
What has distressed me most over the last couple of days is the realisation of quite what an effect these periods of poorer behaviour have on his twin. DtS1 has started to say with more and more frequency that he wishes he didn't have a brother, and this weekend that he hates him. This is from a little boy to whom family means the world.
It sounds melodramatic, but right now I feel like our family is falling apart - any tips from anyone as to how I can make this better?

Think DtS2 has pathological demand avoidance - how do I help DtS1 understand this?
