[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 80206, member: 1550"] The truth about what you can do? Very little. She is the custodial parent. You can be there for the child, but you can't force her to take care of him in a way you find acceptable. Nor can your entire family. In fact, if she's the rebellious type, a family intervention may cause her to thumb her noise at all of you and ignore the problem even more. Perhaps she doesn't believe his problem is that bad or she is in denial. Sadly, she's hardly alone. [/QUOTE]
