[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](the mother told me that she came home from a birthday party with a goody bag that had two pieces of candy in it and my charge told her parents that each would get one piece of candy as a reward if they didn't fight) [/quote]

That’s so sad! I can’t imagine how I would handle this with my own charge. It’s heart-breaking just reading about your situation.

It’s so ridiculous that the parents can’t  be bothered to make sure their child is not within earshot when they argue. If they really can’t control themselves, they need to severely limit their time together as a family. That poor baby.

Are they living together still?[/quote]

No, the father is living elsewhere but comes over several nights a week and on weekends [/quote]

Oh yeah, we can’t stop fighting in front of the kid but why don’t we get together a few nights a week? How dumb. They need to work out some kind of schedule where they drop the kid off so he/she can spend some time with one parent.

I agree with the pps that said just make sure you’re there for the child. That’s all you can really do right now. Your charge needs some sort of normalcy to cling to and since her parents are hell-bent on traumatizing her, I guess it falls to you. [/quote]
