[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 48524, member: 1550"] tara, if you don't have legal custody, it's your brothers decision. in my opinion let him handle it. His son is right. He had problems and still does and some may never be resolved. I think your brother should get involved, if he doesn't wish to evaluate him any more, at least in therapy for attachment disorder and for sexual abuse. Those are likely not the whole issues, but would you give back a biological child who didn't turn out the way you wanted? We sent our child away because he was dangerous, CPS came, and they gave us no choice--he had sexually abused our two younger kids and killed our animals, set fires, etc. Your brother doesn't have other kids. in my opinion, it's up to him what to wants to do, and he is probably torn apart enough without having other family members giving him advice. After your nephew is 18 it doesn't matter what happens because he is legally responsible for himself, however your brother will still love him. With your older brother and you and maybe your parents coming down on your brother who is an adult...in my opinion, this is not right, and he should be left alone. He has enough on his plate. I think your brother, who has worked in foster care, can make smart decisions.
