New to this but getting fed up of getting owhere with my son.
He is 8 and a half and had a very traumatic start in life... I underwent several amino drainages whilst pregnant to try to or react twins-to-twin transfusion syndrome and finally laser surgery on the placenta. My boys were delivered by emergency section at 32 weeks. Son 1 had a deformed and undeveloped leg which was amputated the following day but otherwise was not too poorly at 4lb 4. My second son was only 2lb 12 and was incredibly ill. We let him when he was only four days old.
After several weeks in hospital we brought son 1 home and he now uses a prosthetic limb to walk and get about. My main concerns though lie with his behaviour rather than his physical abilities. He is a very sensitive child and can be very loving and caring but he thinks nothing of hurting his younger brother who is 6 if he is annoyed with him, kicking him, slapping him and biting him over often very trivial arguments. He can be very immature and enjoys playing babyish games and being treated like a baby. He can also be very unreasonable and has severe aggressive outbursts, again often over trivial matters. During these outbursts it is not unusual for him to be violent towards me and to kick and punch walls and doors as well as throw things.
He is seeing a phychotherapist but I get little feedback from him... He hates school, reading, homework erc... He is so uncooperative at times it drives me mad and he will argue over silly things. Often when out shopping he will mess about with his brother, screaming and running in the aisles like a 2 year old!
This all sounds so negative and he can be very loving, especially to his sister who is 7 months old. He is often very affectionate to people he barely knows and this really hurst as he seems so angry with me at times...
Just to add, he has always been like this. His dad and I separated 3 years ago but he has regular contact with him several times a week.
Any suggestions or advise would be much appreciated!
Thanks
