Poor SS dealing with BM's bi-polar

Hogger's picture

My SO told me last night that he had a conversation with my SS about his BM. Apprently she cries so much and so loud that SS goes up to his room and plays video games or watches TV to drown it out. WHat kind of environment is that for him to grow up in? So frustrating when there is nothing we can do....FCS already told us they don't care about his 'well-being' only if he is being neglected or abused. And since BM maintains a roof over his head and food in his belly all is good in their eyes.

I have a great book recommendation. Smile

It's called An Umbrella for Alex: http://www.pdan.org/store.php

It helps kiddos cope with a mentally ill parent and realize that it's not their responsibility to take on the emotional caretaking of that parent.
