[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 723149, member: 13303"] Well, the boys will both want to stay with their dad. Neither one of them wants to be with their mother. The thing is, their dad's home is unsafe. We would probably have to go through the courts to argue that the children are neglected.....evidence being DS' continuing descent into mental illness/inability to function, and YS' situation speaks for itself.... The problem is, taking their father to court would alienate the boys from us even more. It is a very difficult situation. If neither of them wants much to do with us anyway, we may as well take comfort in knowing that we have done everything possible to keep them safe, whether they realize (or want) it or not....even if the only result was mandated counseling/therapy sessions for everyone, it would be better than status quo. Soon YS will be released from the hospital. The brinksmanship, the posturing and bargaining over his destination after that is turning into WWIII. YS wants to go with his grandmother, wife wants him with us, dad wants him home. Screaming, yelling, constant conflict. It is a nightmare. I am not directly involved and will continue to keep myself safe on the sidelines. [/QUOTE]
