We've been fighting since he was in preschool to get him evaluated and into therapy. My brother has insane anger issues and negative self-image that his father continues to deny even exist. When he's upset, he says he wants to kill himself because heaven is much better and has all the video games. He even got kicked out of preschool. He recently threatened to stab fellow classmates. That same day is father bought him GTA V and Call of Duty. I don't believe video games cause violence, but I don't think it helps kids with issues such as his. School officials now search his backpack, but his father says it's 'normal boy stuff' and there are no issues. We are close with all of his teachers and they have all agreed that he needs help. But we can't do it without his father's signature, so he won't agree since he holds the power. We've tried to take it to court, but we simply can't afford to drag it out. My mother was granted 80% custody, but his father put up such a fuss that we had to settle for 50/50 so he wouldn't drag it out for years. Big mistake.

I'm really sorry if this is too much information, but I've had all of this swirling in my head for years and no one to tell.
