:grr: My sister is a single mother of an adorable 6 year old boy. She never had what you would call a "relationship" with his father, it was a one time thing. She decided when my nephew was two that she would try to involve his father in his life because she didn't want to deprive him of that, we didn't have our father and him being a boy she thought it was important. Anyway, his father denied the whole pregnancy from the beginning, and was very angry and said anything he could to hurt my sister. He is the type of person who uses his words to verbally abuse, and to cause pain. Well, my sister succeeded, much to her dismay now, in getting him a relationship with his father. My nephew fights going, has from the very beginning, his grandparents on his fathers side adore him as do his aunts and uncle, they are not the issue. His father fights my sister every step of the way, she is constantly walking on eggshells trying to keep from stirring up his anger. To no avail, doesn't seem to matter what she does, he finds a reason. Sorry, I didn't mean for this to get so long. My nephews father has a g/f and she thinks of him as being like her own, she was not blessed with children of her own. She has told my sister horror stories of how his father yells at him and makes him cry, calling him a momma's boy and spanking him because he's crying. He yells at him in front of company, there is a couple that apparently has some children his age and his g/f sometimes has sleepovers for him when he's there. Apparently this couple has said that due to his fathers anger issues they don't allow their kids to come over very often. My sister phoned me last Monday saying that his g/f called and wanted to bring him home a day early, and come to find out, they had a sleep over and his dad started yelling at him in front of the other kids, calling him a momma's boy, because he slept with my sister for a long time. Made him cry, so he spanked him and sent him to his room. Well, she wants to get him into therapy and is going to work towards supervised or cut off visitation all together. She has one dilemma though, most therapists have refused to take him on as a patient if it means possibly having to go to court. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what she can tell a therapist so that she can get him help? They are going to ask why and we just have no ideas at all what to say....can you please help us?? Thanks so much!
