I don't want to drip feed and can do a longer post later, but sd 13 has come to stay at ours for a period over Xmas but we seriously think she should stay here with us, due to ongoing issues with her mum constantly kicking her out the house and allowing her to stay at friends houses for weeks on end.
Can we keep her here ?? She won't want to stay but we know it's in her best interests to stay here, she doesn't have a stable home life, constant arguments and fights with her mum, sofa surfing, school suspensions etc
And if so, how do we handle the fallout ?? Her mum won't mind her staying for a short period but she won't won't her here permanently ! But she can't keep kicking her out when they've had a row it's just not okay !!
