So the other night ss13 shared some info with us for the first time. My husband was drilling him on his bad grades and how he might have to repeat the 7th grade. Ss broke down and said it's just too busy at his house. He has 4 younger siblings who I guess terrorize him all day. Kick on the door while he is in his room, pound from the bathroom wall that is also connect to his was. He says he tells Bm, but after awhile Bm gets annoyed and yells at everyone including ss.

We asked him about staying up an hour later to do his homework, Bm puts them all to bed at 7pm. He said he can't because he always has to put the younger one back in his crib at night. When asked where Bm and stepdad was, he said down stairs and they will ask ss to put younger brother back in bed.

He also mentioned that there is a lot of fighting going on between Bm and stepdad. Stepdad shunned BMs family from coming over anymore because they brought over a bed frame for ss to sleep on. Stepdad had been "working"on ss bed frame for 5 years now.

I'm not sure how to help ss, we asked if he wanted to move in with us, but he was very wishy washy over it. Dh is doing the drop off right now and is currently sitting down at a restaurant to talk to Bm about grades and study time. However, she is a high conflict person. She will threaten police if you look at her wrong.
