[quote=Anonymous]This is so hard, OP. My sister (my only sibling) has a host of mental illnesses, including alcohol addiction and borderline personality disorder. She has two kids. I think the best you can hope for is that the child’s father is stable and willing to take over if need be. If you do stay close to your sister, you need to consider the possibility of needing to report to CPS, should your sister prove abusive or neglectful. She may not, of course, but parenting is extremely stressful, and many parents with mental illness struggle. People criticizing you don’t understand the challenges and the implications for the child, who is really the focus here. [/quote]
