The father is fairly responsible, but if I were to get him involved there would be a war!!! That would be a heck of a lot worse. She has a 14 year old brother that is pretty ok. This has happened before, but not for a while.
My husband's family is VERY dysfunctional. All except one has drinking/using problems. The mother delegated authority when the kids were young,plus has a drinking problem.
One brother recently died of a heart attack, one brother was kicked out by his wife. This sister is veering out of control.
And i'm the one "who doesn't want to have any fun"
(barbiedeb- I am also not having a good day!!!)
Itll be ok tho. I'll just take the kid along when we go school clothes shopping. Spending money is always fun!!!)
