Due to the state of her house, my sister has gone through the
Child Protection process three times previously. I go round have a clear out and
social workers leave her alone. Apart from this 'issue' she is a good mum. The
girls have everything they want and they do much more! Actually that's part of
the problem! She is unable to say no when they want things and as an amateur
psychologist she seems to have some kind of guilt that they just don't have
enough and by buying more things this will show how much she loves them.
In context their dad is married to someone
else and has no real contact with them.
I've tried my best to convince the sister
to stop buying things, to throw things out, to sell old toys and clothes, but
it falls on deaf ears and she carries on regardless. She's had appointments
with the mental health team but she either can't be bothered to go or really
doesn't think there's an issue. The place is just 'a little messy'.
And so we reach the current situation....
