That whole side of my husband's family is messed up. His younger brother died of a drug overdose two years ago. His long time girlfriend and mother of his kids is doing drugs too, and like he was, is in and out of jail. 98% of the time they have nowhere to live. CPS took the kids once, but for some strange reason eventually returned them to her.
The two boys have no guidance, no good role model, no rules, don't know right from wrong. And now the older one, who's 14, posted a HUGE picture of a Swastika on FB. And then acted all "What?" about it. It's not only that I'm offended because I'm German, but I'm also deeply worried about those kids. They have absolutely no future if they stay where they are now. It's like watching a plane crash, you see it go down, and you can't do a thing about it. And that helpless feeling is so frustrating and upsetting.

So sorry you're justifiably worried about your nephews. Does your husband ask to visit his brothers kids? Can he ask their mother if he can help her? Would your husband be interested in raising his nephews?
