I hate to see your bird get passed around again as it will only cause more psychological damage.
If you wish, here are three very good sites (from what I can tell) that may help you, your family AND your bird out.
The first one, in particular, even has a forum where you could ask people questions just like here, only for parrots. The second one would be one option if you *do* end up having to give him away. At least you could give him to someone who can help him if it comes to that. And the third site has some helpful information on the psyche of parrots. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I do hope this helps. It's sad to hear that poor bird has had such a bad time of it, but also that it's disrupting *your* life as well. Parrots live too long to let them stay so upset.
