Do you think I am in the wrong?

[lynnc35]

I must confess tension has been building up in my family since my husband and I split, then my mom got mad at my sister, then my aunt who is mad at my mom turned everyone against my mom, and caused my mom to break down and she is so stressed, to the point of having a heart attack. Then on top of that I was gone for a month to return to find my son had tried to kill himself and left suicide letters, because his aunt my moms sister had smoked something with him, do you think I am wrong for reporting her? My son doesn't want to talk to me now, but I don't want to lose my son either. He doesn't know I reported her yet, but not for that, for something else. but he is mad cuz the she is filling his head with lies. I have paid for everything, gave him school clothes, shoes, bought all his electronic needs, while he was living there, when his dad never paid a dime. I even got the aunt clothes to bring her son home from jail in. Am I wrong for retaliating this women is senile and taking my son down with her. according to him he is not my son anymore. He told me this tonight, but yet I paid for the cap and gown he will probably never graduate in now.

I'd like to help but I need more background information.

1. Why did leave for those few months
2. Why was your son left in the care of his aunt
3. Was he suicidal before you left or was this a constant thing.

*You're right to report his aunt. She had endangered your son by exposing him to chemicals that could kill him!

Why do you report members of your own family?  Was it so impossible to resolve these issues within your family?

You were absolutely right to report, family or not.  Your son was endangered.  If it was my kid, I would have done the same.  My son was put into a coma for 3 months because his grandmother thought it would be cute to get a 15 months old drunk.  I did not think it was too funny nor did the law.  My husband and I broke up over it.  I do not feel guilty one bit or mad that my marriage was over.  My kids come first and everyone else last.  No matter what the circumstances were for you having to leave, that is personal or why he was put in his aunt's care.  I do hope you eventually work things out with your son and family.  You both need some counseling for sure and I would get it as soon as possible. I wish you and your son and family the best.
