[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 719897, member: 13303"] YS does see the truth and he has been screaming it for years. His father and mother did not listen. They knew DS was abusing YS, but their solution was to tell YS to hide in his room and not do anything to "upset" DS. Never once did it occur to anyone that YS deserved to grow up normally, and removing DS from the home would have been best for both of the boys. Not one person has ever stuck up for YS, taken his side, or put him first. DS has always come first. When I came into his life YS was turning 11. He tried to enlist me as his savior, because I could see the same things he did. I tried to talk to my wife about this, but her denial and other issues were very strong, and she didn't listen. YS began to shut me out when it became clear I could not rescue him from his situation. He was very angry and I don't blame him. I know in the end my relationship with him will always be loving and positive. I am in a very difficult position and it helps so much to share it with you wonderful people. If I have the opportunity to speak privately with the mental health professionals who will eventually treat him when he reaches the point of inpatient psychiatric, I will do so and will tell them everything.
