Q&A: I Dont Know What to Do for the Best?
Question by tartan army rules !!!!: i dont know what to do for the best?
i apologize for the long story but i think you need some background to understand.
my younger sister has one child, a boy aged 6 and she is 27yo.
she has always suffered from the victim illness and has always used her son to manipulate my mum.
last summer, she had one of her “depression” moments and social services had to get involved by removing my nephew and placing him with me as my other sisters cant take him and my mum has medical problems, so it was me or foster care.
anyways, he was placed on a child protection order and after a gradual amount of time, he went back to live with his mum.
all in all he was with me for 3mths. she received community service for how it all came about and i haven’t seen her much since. i didn’t see much of her anyways as we live two separate lifestyles and hers is not one i want my kids to around much. but i love her and will always be her big sis.
now over the past few weeks, i have been hearing stories from my other family members that she’s back on drugs and has missed some of her community service appts which could lead to her being sent to prison.
i thought i’d give her a call today and see if she wanted to come stay with me for a couple of days, help her with my nephew and also see if i could help counsel her.
in the morning, i called her and she seemed ok and agreed to come to mine, i would pay for her taxi here and we could spend some time together.
i said i would call her within the hr to see if she was ready so i could call her taxi and have been getting the answerphone for hours.
i eventually got through to her and she is now saying she isn’t coming over today.
she sounded funny, her words all slurry and as if she wasn’t really taking in what i was saying to her. so i said you sound funny, what are you doing. she said she had run out of the anti depressants the doctor had given her and that meant she couldn’t leave the house.
she was also calling her sons name but i couldn’t hear him in the background.
what should i do? if i call her social worker to and check on them would i be doing the wrong thing in medalling. i don’t want her to got to jail and i dont want my nephew to end up in foster care as i cant take him again. i already have 6 kids of my own and im 33 weeks pregnant and we’re moving countries in the next few months, but i need her to get herself sorted before i leave.
if i call social services, im scared what might happen plus it may cause a rift between my mum and me and i dont want that before i leave.
she still wears those rose colored glasses.
help me, what would you really do, in your heart of hearts?
please dont tell me what i know i should do?
i would really appreciate honest answers.xxx
thankyou, roslynn x
