[quote=Anonymous]My niece was/is in a situation where she is emotionally abused and neglected at home. She is now almost 18 and has more of a voice and a say but when she was younger, she felt incredibly powerless and trapped. It has definitely damaged her in many ways. Her parents are very good at making her out to be a dramatic, angsty kid and minimizing everything she says. She desperately wanted to move out but like most abusers, her parents don't want to lose that control. They like having a minor who they can ignore / control and treat as they wish and they would never agree to her living anywhere else. they live their own chaotic lives and don't see any need for hers to be any different. I would see if you can get the child to a counsellor. Could be through the guise of so many changes in her life. Let the counsellor be the neutral party who hears what is going on and can support the child in what is best[/quote]
