Getting help for the caregiver in abandonment...

by Judy stes
(Washington State)

I have a friend who is caring for her to great-nephews who have been abandoned several times by their mother (no father in the picture, so there is abandonment there, too) and she took them to live with her a year ago.

The younger boy (7) lies to her and she responds harshly. I have suggested counseling and she's against it. Any suggestions on how I can get her to consider it?

Thanks,

Judy
