| Unless there is something so dysfunctional about this family that can't be reconciled- I'd tell him to talk to his mom and dad, offer to help, or offer to talk to his parents for him. It's sad that a child would have to go through all this alone. Or... you're liable to end up the person in-the-middle. If the family situation is so poor that something like this can't be told to mom or dad... shudder... as godparent, you must have the respect of his parents. This is your hour. |
