[quote=Anonymous]I believe you OP. My 7 yr old would have definitely been interested in what an uncle did all day and would have asked questions. However, I would have re- directed ( and often did!). So, I gently advise that you call your brother and apologize. Clearly your brother struggles, and your parents enable but if you want a relationship with them you need to offer the olive branch. Going forward, speak with you son about his uncle in a supportive manner, and let him know what is off limits. And lastly, I certainly hope not, but one day your delightful, inquisitive, amazing 7 yr old could face similar. A friends son is struggling to launch in early 20s and getting anyone over 18 help is almost impossible. They are devastated but short of putting him on the street, what can they do. She certainly did not see this at 7. She saw Ivy League! Wishing you well.[/quote]
