Good luck N.- I know it isnt easy and you are very lucky to have a supportive family. Maybe he just needs some mom time - alone with you for a while- to jolt him back into whats acceptable and whats not- Our ives get so crazy that we have a hard time making that time for one on one- It seems that he is "active" whens hes around others and not with you- maybe he jsut needs that down time with mom- just yu and him- not the other child. Walk in the park- zoo- make a picnic.
Also- maybe check his diet- sometimes a simple thing ike that can mean a lot- My cousin went through that- my aunt eliminated orange soda, chocolate- hot dogs, artificial colors and packaged foods. made a huge difference-
I also know fo a woman who swears that her yoga has helped overactive child and children with focusing issues. Could be a great outlet for mom and son-She has a very soothing personality and I have read that yoga does wonders.

She does classes pretty much everywhere- couldnt hurt to try
Kudos to you for being aware of it and not making excuses.-My advise- when he does misbehave have a consequence and STICK to it. I used to cave in b/c I made the consq too long in the first place- ha!
