From your description of the scenario, it definitely appears that your son needs some anger management therapy. Of course as parent of the household, you do not deserve to be running after your son’s every want because of fear. In fact, it is not healthy for a parent to be in fear of her child. Take your son to a therapist or teen counselor in order to deal with his temperament issues. If you have been able to withstand his behavior for so long as his mother, it isn’t fair for his sibling to have to force herself to withstand his behavior as well (she is almost just as young as he is.) It really is time for your son to talk to a professional. To start off, you could even talk to your son’s guidance counselor at school for some local recommendations. About the situation with his father, this is another issue which must finally be addressed. He will be having feelings of jealousy on his part if he continues to see how his father interacts with his sister and not with him. This may be because of his own doing since he has rebelled against his father, but aside from this—the man is still his dad and his son will most likely feel a natural yearning towards him. In order to patch things up, you could get his dad to join in father-son counseling sessions with him.
