My dss has been difficult in the best of times you may remember my thread about dss being abusive to his four year old half brother.
Since then we made a lot of changes. First off we stopped four year old making loud noises in the bathroom. Secondly dss went to see a councillor and we have been told via the councillor that dss feels like things would be better without him and that no one in the family likes him so he acts like he doesn't want to be liked.
We all said to him how he can have a clean slate and that the past is the past. Dh has been getting on better with him. He hasn't been rude to anyone and the attitude in a large part went. However today has seen a change of old ways and this is something that doesn't happen often I must say.
Dss had a fight with my son, my son and dh went off to go to the shops and dh brought him a pair of trainers. It's not like dss doesn't get given things but my son needed a pair of trainers. So ds got very jealous and starting shouting at dh saying I hope you die and that dh has replaced him and that he never gets things. Dss intervened and told dss he was being ridiculous and pathetic and dss hit my son. He punched him in the eye (he has a black eye) and he punched him in the rib. He also hit dh who struggled to restrain him.
I am so disappointed we was making a good start with dss who is really sensitive and damaged in my opinion and was going down a positive route.
Aibu what is the way forward because the councilling is making a difference he had written all of us apology letters and dh has had a long chat with him.
I feel I need to protect my son and I feel that I also have duty to help my husbands son who is suffering and who won't get the help otherwise that he needs.
Obviously Dh is very upset as well. It's so hard.

To think dss has ruined the positive steps he has made.
