If you gotta go the route of the next uber quake or volcano I'd say that's a pretty decent bet the place is pretty mild. Something that may or may not happen for another 100 years or so versus shit poppin off every year and paying out the ass for insurance.

Time for an update on clutter’s creek:
Remember I said I was clearing the house by request of a fire warden? Well to elaborate, due to how much stuff was crammed in the house, it was deemed unsafe. No access to doors, fire hazards in the kitchen, etc. My Ma rents the place, and she was close to getting kicked out over it.
Luckily my clearing and cleaning skills are on par with Kim and Aggie, so the house is safe now and she’ll actually have a roof over her head when she’s discharged from hospital

Solidarity is pretty relaxing once you embrace it rather than feeling like a failure for people not contacting you/rarely going out. Definitely feels like I was taking the quiet for granted.
Don't mind me, but I just need to vent on a few random topics.
Context. I have an half sister that I'm not really all that close to, however obviously my dad being the common denominator I'm involved in her life to an extent. I only discovered her when I was 15, well I say discovered my dad introduced me to her shortly before I was incarcerated and my parents moved to the US. Anyway, fast forward and life has been hard to her as we were reintroduced as a rebuilt my relationships with my parents she kinda came back into my life and I quickly discovered she's a alcoholic (sometimes functioning). Very long story short she has a son who is my nephew who is more than likely going to be put up for adoption unless I decide to take him. Really torn on this, it's not something I planned for and I do want more kids just not.... right at this very second, I think I feel compelled to because she's family but I dont really want to and feel like a dick for not. Just with adoption being so final, it's something that's weighing really heavy on my heart/head.

I wouldn't know what to do in that situation but what I can say is that you should not feel compelled to adopt and if you do choose not to adopt then you are not being a dick at all and you shouldn't feel like one. How does your partner feel about it?
All I would say is I would not feel bad about not adopting in that scenario, nor would I judge you negatively for doing so.

He's your nephew. He's already family. Adoption would just be a formality. You're just taking official custody. He can probably take care of himself just fine, just needs a guardian. Don't let it weigh on you. Do the right thing.
By Smoke Dogg Go To PostHe can probably take care of himself just fine
There is no mention of how old he is.
Sorry he's three so he def cannot take of himself (my son is also three), and thanks for the validation, there's initial court proceedings this week so lets see how this plays out as knowing social work they will do everything in their power to get my sister back on the right track before removal.
@kidjr.
Sorry to hear about the situation. Sounds like you are in a very tough position now, through no fault of your own. I don't think anyone has the right to judge you on this because there is no right or wrong decision here. Hopefully, your sister can get herself back on track. I just hope it all works out for the best for your nephew.

Yeah thats the constant thought, just whats best for him. Unfortunately I feel like my sister is passed the point of no return, its been 10 years of drinking day day out, neighbours have had to call police to break her door down because she's passed out drunk with child running around. Rehab, clinics, support groups, changed area etc. it ultimately boils to her not wanting to change (from what I can tell).
but thanks for the input guys

Waterboard yourself to find how you really feel about this
been in the situation myself and I don't envy you. Things resolved before I had to consider adoption thankfully

What's best for him might not even be you even if you feel compelled to take him in. A kid like that with a mom who was drinking his whole life so far and let's be honest probably in the womb, he's going to have a cadre of issues you're not prepared for. Take this into account as well, if you know you can't handle him very well and you already got your own to deal with? He probably needs special attention you won't be able to provide or you will have to provide to the detriment of your own child. It's not ever as simple as it looks.

I may be wrong, but at three I feel like the child won't have as many issues as if the child was closer to 10. Though your point is valid, kid may not be his best option and I think that's part of his equation. Which ... IMO is basically ... "can I live with myself if I don't". It's not a fair position for him, but it's still a choice he's got to make and live with. I don't begrudge him either way.

I had him for a month about 6 months ago and I think a large portion o this comes down to it feeling like it was forced upon me through her life choices. He does have some behavioural issues but I found that we that it's just usual stuff (I should say my wife is a social worker with kids so this is right up her street) and so it's just routine discipline, patience, love and care.

This is bascailly what I'm leaning to, let someone who wants a child more than anything in the world take him rather than me because I feel I have to. I would provide and care etc, and I think i'd do an good job just think there are people that want it more.

This x1000
No where near the same level but I had some and probably have some issues from my parents leaving when I was inside and that was over 15 years ago. I understand the decision now even if I dont agree with it still but I've made peace with it, it's just a shitty thing to have grow up thinking knowing or finding out no one in your family wanted to take you in.

Children are affected by that kind of environment in ways you don't even imagine especially if mom was doing drugs while they were in the womb.
Nvm, I thought this was like in the us and he was gonna get put into a home or something.
Legit adoption? Oof.

Downer time: So a few of you probably remember me jaundicing and being sick as fuck like 3 years ago, and them trying to diagnose me for as long. Last week after another ercp and scan I had my confirmation, that I have primary sclerosing cholangitis, and that my bile ducts are getting destroyed pretty damn quickly. While you can't tell for sure, my doctors bet is that a liver transplant is on the cards sometimes in the next 5 years time. Shit fucking sucks, but the life quality and span after a liver transplant sounds pretty good, for someone my age. At least that is what he is trying to convince me of, when I tell him I read the overall statistics, that aren't nice readings.
He also assured me that when we together decide, that it's the right time to go on the transplant list, it wouldn't take a long time for me to get one. But going to be anxiety provoking to walk around expecting a call any day for a major surgery.
