MG, DP and I have been together for nearly 6 years so not thinking that is the issue or the younger siblings. Not sure what it is that he has a bee in his bonnet about though.

Joel was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of about 4 and was medicated up until the beginning of year 7. He simply then refuse to take his tablets anymore. Pretty much since then things have been getting worse.

Don't think that he is getting bullied, the way he is it is more than likely the other way around. Don't get me wrong, he is a peer support leader at school and when we are out and he see's younger kids from his peer group they always say hi to him, so obviously doing something positive there.

He quite enjoys helping out younger kids, just not his own 12 year old brother. He is a pretty good older brother to the little ones. He will play with them, he even cuddled Tehya to sleep in the holidays while I was in the shower.

Anger management classes sound like a great idea. I think I could benefit from them too. Just have to wonder how much of it he will take in. Remember he doesn't have any problems it's all us.

Thanks for the reassurance
