Older sibling extremely angry after loss of baby brother.


My eldest has been slightly difficult since his brother was born, as a baby he was the perfect child but once #2 came around that all changed.He was disruptive in nursery, hated sharing and was like this at home as well. He had behaviour specialists watch him who said that he didn't have ADHD nd looked like he was just attention seeking.Fast forward to the week before he started reception and his brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. There was a lot of upheaval and he had to stay with family a lot due to our other son having intense chemo.After he passed away his behaviour has got awful. He is so angry and constantly lashing out. If he doesn't get what he wants he shouts and screams, hits us. In school he is disruptive in lesson, hurts people and hates anything apart from playtime. He is fantastic at reading and righting and doing well on that front but in being naughty and disruptive he has alienated himself from most other children. He's been to a councilller who said he was coping well, we have been firm with him, tried time outs. Taking toys of him but he just doesn't care.We are lost, both my partner and I only lost our other son 6 months ago and we know he is suffering too, but his behaviour is off the wall, when he's nice he's amazing but when he gets angry it's like a devil is inside of him and hes unrecognisable. Does anyone have any advice or anything to say I am all ears.Sorry for the long post it's just there is so much to say. Thanks via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/298t1Hf
