[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, she's going to have to deal with a caregiver, that's the bottom line. At a certain point it doesn't matter if she likes it, it's the only way to keep her safe.[/quote] Yes, that's probably true. But we are close, and she visits us for several months every year. She would be heartbroken if those vists with us had to stop. I would visit her for a few months per year, but realistically, the kids can only be there during the summer (which is what we do, and we take a few shorter trips from there). She would not be party of our household like she is now. I think that would make her very sad. OTOH, assuaging my guilty conscience - she never visited her dad, we spend 2 afternoons per year there and he only lived a 45 minute car ride away from us. I would have liked to have a closer relationship with him, looking back. He was a very kind and interesting person. I never got to know him really.[/quote]
