My Dsis had a 5 year old boy. She is no longer with the father but each have him roughly equally, she has announced to the family that since her new promotion at work she no longer wants DN as he gets in the way of her job and is going to let his father have him full time. She has not seen DN for 2 months at this point which we didnt know. However, we have just found out that when he is with his dad he goes to the neighbours instead as his dad goes out. So basically no one wants him. Our parents have offered to take him but a) they are getting quite old and b) the father would never agree to it as they live too far away as do I. There is also the possibility the father will take him back to his country which Dsis is fine with and we would never see him again.
And it just makes me want to cry, he is a lovely smiley boy whenever we look after him but Dsis always goes on about how annoying he is (being in the living room instead of his room, ) and looks forward to him not being there. I knew she was never massively maternal but I hoped she wouldnt go this far.
I know there is nothing we can do but it just feels like I need to do something. He is starting to act out a lot now and the school have asked about the change in his behaviour.
