[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in your SIL's shoes. Aside from everything else, taking the kid out of child care in this situation is a really dicey proposition. A., the kid needs some place to be that is not filled with the drama in his home life. B. whichever adult gets a job--and especially if it's your SIL--she is going to need a solid child care provider to buttress her while your brother is going through whatever he's going through. Stop trying to talk her into giving up the child care right now. That's not helpful. It is VERY difficult to access intensive outpatient treatment, by the way. I don't think that is your problem to manage, but that is not bullshit. Second everyone else on NAMI and/or Al-Anon.[/quote] +1 I also don't think that flying out to talk to your brother will help. He's under the care of a psychiatrist, it's not like you need to light a fire under his butt to get him to see someone. [/quote]
