[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently, [b]my sister [/b]and my nephew left their house in California to come live with me. She's leaving her husband of 10 years. Her son is 10 years old.

He's always had behavioral issues. He is an only child.[b] My cousin[/b] babies him often and he usually gets his way. He's been suspended from school in california for bringing a knife to school.

Fast forward to this month. They have been living with me for 2 months now. Recently, he was put in a child mental hospital because he was diagnosed with PTSD. He was going in and out of his "mind" saying he was hearing voices, hitting his head, saying there was someone inside his head trying to kill him. At the hospital they had to restrain him. 
He said his Dad physically abused him and apparently my sister said she never knew. 
He threatened to kill himself several times at my house and was violent to my cousin and himself.

He's spent a week in Childrens Hospital Mental department and will be set to be cleared going home on Saturday. 
I have three kids of my own. 
Am I being a bitch to be nervous that he's not exactly 'better" in a week? [b]My sister [/b]seems to think everything is great now and hasn't said much about what his diagnosis is or what the plan is for him when he comes home. [/quote]

So is it your sister or your cousin? I’m confused.

And yeah, I’d be very nervous.[/quote]
