The closest thing to a father figure he has is my husband. My husband is schizophrenic so not always the best person to be around. On good days he's great. On bad days I even try to keep the pets out of his way. He's never been violent he just goes on rants and gets very paranoid. He'll have screaming episodes because he will swear we're trying to drive him crazy. He swears we're talking about him to other people or he'll believe we had a conversation that didn't occur. If he mentions something from the conversation and I'm honest and tell him I don't remember that then meltdown. It's been much better since they put him on Saphris but still not the most stable father figure a troubled boy could have. I think I will print out a redacted version of this thread and let her read it. I will also get some literature for her from my brother's therapist and ask her what she thinks would happen if he went into therapy. That is a good suggestion maybe if she heard from an actual therapist what treatment would entail it would help. But I am going to stick to my guns on the CPS. Any more bite marks or bruises on the the baby and I call. Anymore stitches, bruises(not caused from normal play), bites, broken bones, black eyes etc on his older brother and I will call. Hell maybe I should not make it anonymous next time. Tell them that I'm a family member and tell them all my concerns. Maybe they'd actually do something this time or force her to get him help. Sooner or later she'd have to forgive me.
