Needing advice as a concerned sister and daughter
I have a sister very mentally unstable.
She has bipolar and is unmedicated as she doesn't believe she has it.
She is 36 and still living st home with my mother. She has 2 children. One of which is 6 and is on the spectrum.
She can not handle this child. She constantly calls him names like fat, dumb, stupid etc.. but she tries to hide it. I only know because my mother tells me. It breaks my heart. I constantly over hear her on the phone telling my mum how much she hates him and wants him gone.
It seriously breaks my heart and you'd imagine she completely denies this whenever I approach her. She goes I to fits of rage when I mention that I over heard her saying xyz.
I mentioned to her about her son calling himself fat and stupid. She said she has no idea where he would get that from.
I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a brickwall.
My mother is spineless, and my sister constantly puts it over her. She abuses very mentally I am sure.
She refuses the leave the house, saying she can't afford to live elsewhere as she's a single mum. But she gets angry everytime I tell her I will try and help her get somewhere.
I feel as if I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get somewhere.
I want her son to flourish. I love him as my own. She boxes him in and limits what he can do. Saying he can't do xyz because of his disabilities... but I have proven her wrong so many times and he is capable. Strong, and worthy.
My mother has been to the local GP but he hasn't done anywhere.
What can I do? Where can I go?
