i need advice so i can help my sister.
my 26yr old sister has twins they will be 5 in june, she owns a hair salon and 2 nail bars in windermere she is also carer for our 69 yr mum who lives less than a mile from her. her twins a boy an girl are her life, sadly her son has medical issues that mean at 5 he is still in nappies and will be for the forseable future, the docs have an end plan in place sadly though covid and other issues with him mean they cant marry the end plan with an end date. her daughter is a normal happy 5 yr old but her son has growth issues and at the minute no bigger than a 3 yr old, he sleeps in a romper that is for a 3 yr old which means she can change his nappy easier. other than size and medical issues he is a very boistrous 5 yr old, he never stops talking and runs everywhere. Now to the problem... he has suddenly over the past 7 month started to want to wear girls clothes, he will only play with his sisters toys, and getting him dressed to go out is becoming a battle of wills, the latest incident yesterday happened while i was on a zoom call to my sister, she was trying to dress him when he had a proper full on meltdown and ran out of the house naked (apart from a nappy) and into the road into the path of a van. these meltdowns are getting worse, he wont answer to his name and says his names emily. my sister is now at the end of her tether, this morning i zoom called her and it reduced me to tears, she was a motorsport grid girl girl and promotions girl, she has always been very stylish and confident, this morning she had her hair tied back, no make up and looked 40yr old, she looks like she has the weight of the world on her back and we dont know what advice to give her regards her son... any suggestions would be very welcome.
