stepson

We now live in a chaos of new proportions.   Things of illness strike my inlaws which in turn affect my family.  My husband’s son lives with his grandparents and nana is now in an assisted nursery home after a stroke has made it hard for her to go home where she wants.  To add to that, papa is avoiding his mandatory surgery to clear out another artery because of watching over nana.  Only problem is my stepson lives with them and he needs to be here with us.   Is that selfish?  He now spends his days sitting at the nursing home with them and we don’t know if they will ever be able to fully care for him again.  My husband wants to get his custody of the boy now.  He wanted to for years but never wanted to hurt his grandparents.   It’s all so complicated but we pray for the best. 

Does this mean if we get him this house will be chaos worse than ever?  YES. But is it worth it to put him in a stable environment?  Yes.  So now to figure from there.   Pray for us and wish this boy strength.  He is only 11 going on 12 physically but mentally he has had to be a grown boy to care for them.  I think with a little therapy and some readjustment he will fit into this family just fine.
