Emotional abuse

[Macttenba]

Who and how do I talk about being the safe one/teacher/more than an uncle a FARTHER(his words) to my nefu because his mother is mentally not there there for extreme emotional abuse and neglect makes me........ it's to much who do I involve without damaging him even though he his clearly traumatised. He is not aloud to be with me the only person he has we are best friends and he is now in hospital, I know it's the stress he's going through but my sister is obviously narrsaasitic and enjoying the attention, last week she was in hospital.....

Dear Macttenba~

Welcome here to the forum. It is very difficult to try to look after someone when you aren't their next of kin, and if the next of kin is part of the problem that makes things worse.

I'm sorry your nephew is in hospital and you may well be right, it could be the stress that is putting him there.

I would suggest you have a talk wiht the experts on abuse, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732), and see what they have to say. They are free, easy to talk with , sensible and realistic.

I hope you can sort it out
