This is serious - what can I do?

Whew!!!

That thread was a real eye opener into depression and dysfunction.

I would sincerely be very stressed if I realized that "I" had to make the right decision. Your Aunt is chronically detached (duh? Ya think Dorothy?)--and no longer a Mother at all. I feel so sad for everyone involved.


I think there have been enough replies that I can match here. It's a no win situation all the way around. Intervene---subsequent dyfunction--domestic dispute maybe--- or----not get involved-----drastic consequences as well.

I just feel so sad for this teen ager .

I assume you and your mother have already had a heart to heart talk about this. I'm so sorry that this "issue" has raised your eye brows.

Prayers and Huggs to You and Your Mother, Catnapper.

Well, I guess it's unanimous. What more do you need? If you can't find the phone book for the child services number, just call 9-1-1. You don't get a second chance at regret for not doing what you KNOW needs to be done.

God Bless you and your mother. You are doing the right thing for the RIGHT reasons.

Nothing is being done. It will cause other family divisions to do so.

An anonymous stranger letter carrier or someone would have to phone in.

Tons of prayers for this situation!

Doesn't sound like a good enough reason to me.
