Hi! Looking for advice/support from other very involved aunts.
Hi, I'm looking to some support and maybe a little advice for my situation. My sister is divorced and has one daughter. We live together and co-parent. My family call me the aunt-mom. My sister has a few different mom groups on Facebook, I feel weird joining a mom group though I'm technically a mom myself. I lost my son to sids and gave my daughter up for adoption at birth. I couldn't find any aunt groups but I did find this so thought I would try it.. We clash a bit with parenting styles. We make it work though. We are having some behaviors in that my niece hits, bites, screams, thows stuff when she doesn't get her way. I feel my sister feeds right into what my niece wants her to with everything. My sister knows how I feel. She's getting her into family therapy to help her to know how to work with her with her behaviors. I feel that I should be included in the therapy and learn first hand how to help my niece seeing as I am such a big part of her life and raising but I feel it's not my place to ask and if my sister wants me there or thinks I should be she will suggest it. Is there anyone can compare? I feel so alone sometimes.
