[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here this is a very difficult situation, my husband is very conflicted about calling CPS on sil and bil. My husband and his brother are very close and my husband feels that our niece is the responsibility of BIL and we need to stay out. I just can't stop crying thinking of the little one. I am planning on calling SIL tonight and telling her unless she seeks counseling and starts taking antidepressants I will call the police. Has anyone dealt with a friend or family member who was abusive but recovered with professional help?[/quote]

Please don't do this.  It might put the baby at further risk.

Right now your SIL is ill.  She can not be trusted to make the right decisions for the baby.  Either your BIL needs to step in and start making decisions (I'm the PP who suggested that you give your BIL an ultimatum), or CPS needs to do so, but adding to SIL's anxiety by threatening her is not going to help the situation and could lead to her harming herself or the baby.  In addition, while therapy and meds are great, and will probably help a lot, neither works overnight.  There needs to be a plan now so that mom and baby are not alone together.  [/quote]
