I don't really have any advice. It does sound like your ds wants help, and has a sweet side, despite the "trouble" behavior. I just wanted to say that I understand the feeling of just wishing you didn't have to deal with it, and...

I just re-read the email, and he says that ds2 hurting her could lead to her developing man-anxiety (he's using that term because I confided in him that *I* have man anxiety). After he says that spanking produces well adjusted kids....
