Can anyone offer advice? My sister-in-law has 5 children. Both parents are in good jobs, educated and well respected in their community. The eldest child is at university, the next child is doing v well at school. Then the middle child is causing huge problems with violence in the home, threatening his siblings and parents. Basically vile behaviour. Police involved etc. The next two children are fine and loving. Whats going on? If he isn't having psychotic episodes and is doing it all with clear mindedness, why? Is there such a thing as middle child syndrome and could this be it? Does anyone else have this going on with
five children??

Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions, and tbh it sounds as if the family needs professional help. Has your SIL tried this book?
