DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my partner’s younger grandson flies into rages he lashes out at the older one, who ends up covered in bruises.
The two are brothers aged 13 and 18. The younger one is a bit overweight and has rages regularly.
His brother won’t retaliate in case things go too far. Their mother seems oblivious to it.
The 13-year-old comes to our house and swears at my partner and I. If my partner refuses to let him come to ours, their mother won’t allow his brother over.
