They are both right on the edge and that little boy is pushing back

I guess nothing has ever been safe and normal for him and because he wants you and Aunt ashis permanent family he is pushing you away...which is not unusual. Even if you could take him for an hour nearly every day, just to throw ball or whatever. Is there a gym or something active that you could get him into. Somewhere to direct all that anger and energy. I continue to pray for you all.

Adnohr is right... this is not a situation any of you can fix alone.

You three are kind of a family... Piggen's family.  The family itself needs to be understood--how things work, what habits of behavior move things along.  This is a dance, and you are all doing different steps, or steps out of sync with each other.

There is so much anger and resentment and protest going on... I am glad to hear that she is making the attempt to find counseling. When, besides Piggens, she gets some, and you get some, it will be so much better for all of you, and each of you!  

I am going over to blog a bit of general stuff about therapies in my Universe blog.  You might find it helpful, even encouraging.  That's my intent, anyway.

I can't stress it enough. Outside and professional help is needed if this story is to have a happy ending. Joyce is being run ragged, and her reaction is confusing Piggens, who acts out his feelings, which just amplifies the helplessness of both. Being so fond of the boy, is there any way you could take him off her hands now and then for a few hours to give then both a much needed break?
