| I'm talking full on meltdown, crying so hard he can't be understood on the phone. I don't rea like the boyfriend, who has addiction and unemployment problems, so I'm afraid my view is somewhat skewed. |

| This would alarm me a great deal. |

| Very very alarming. Do you live close? Do you have a relationship with nephew independent of your sister? |

| Just a bit. They don't live close to me. |

Me too! Very sad. Please listen to him and tell your sister to don't leave him with the boyfriend...it may be the last time you see him. |

| If he were 3 and sobbing when mom leaves, it might be a different story, but at 10 something is going on. I hope you can help with your nephew! |

| My God. Poor kid. Get him out of there! What is wrong with your sister? Child molesters prey on kids of single moms. |

| That seems weird. |

Well said. I'm guessing your sister told you this? I hope she finds someone else to leave him with and it's probably a good idea for her to end things with the boyfriend. (I'm assuming he's not your nephews father). She's a single mom, so she needs to put her child(ren) first. |

This. Something is up. I feel for the kid. Good luck OP. Maybe you can offer to pay for a sitter? |

I will, but she has to admit something is awry first. At the moment, she thinks we just don't like her boyfriend, not that anything else is wrong. It's hard, because he hits all my alarm triggers, so I DON'T like him. Unfortunately, I also remember being in this same situation as a single parent myself which is why it is alarming. |
