More family-of-origin drama

[serene]

I spent last night trying to help my nephew (known herein as Munchkin The Elder) figure out what to do after he ran away following a fistfight with his mom. Cops were called; he was escorted home against his wishes; his mother left and said she's moving out, but she's back now; things are very much up in the air right now. I am out of tears. I'm essentially numb, emotionally. I don't know what's next. I do know that he'll be up to visit us for a week or so, so everyone can have a break.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around engaging in fisticuffs with my own child. Then making the police drag him back to me.

I'm sorry he's having to go through such a lousy time, and glad you're able to give a little respite to him. How old is he now?
