A member asked:
My sister isn't want to really step up and be with her child but she isn't depressed in anyway...could this be caused by the father leaving her & him?

No bonding: Lack of bonding between mother and child is usually an indicator of some underlying psychological issue. She is fortunate to have a sister who cares enough to be concerned about it, and you can be a tremendous support system for her. Try to encourage her to get psychological help, for her sake, and for the child's. Best wishes.
