[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have a spouse?[/quote]

I wondered this too. Zero mention by OP about anyone else who sees or can help of this sick child.

OP, what's that all about? Does she have a spouse in her life or  significant other? Is that the person whom you say is in denial?

When you say she is bipolar, is that because you know she has the diagnosis or because you assume she is, based on her actions? (And yeah, having seen a bipolar friend spend wildly when in a manic state, I agree that the SIL's actions and grandiose statements do sound like signs, but that is not the same as a doctor actually diagnosing your SIL.)

OP, I hope you can see why others, while inexcusably rude about it, are seeing you as lacking in compassion and courage here. What have you done to try to reach her or (probably more effective if she's manic) to reach those closest to her? The ones you say are in denial? Maybe you have tried and tried and this vent is because you're so frustrated - I get that. But how can you help this kid, even if you're done with the mom?

If she is ignoring her child to the level you claim this sounds like it's heading for a call to child protective services unless there is another parent in the picture. And if there IS another parent, how did that person let the child get that dehydrated?? [/quote]
