[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This situation is very plausible. My brother has SN and my parents started the process to find him a group home when they were in their 50s. It took about 5 years to find a good one for him, and he loves it.

However, I go with him sometimes to SPRED (Special Religious Ed -- Sunday school for SN basically) at a nearby church and it was astounding to see the number of SN children in their 30s and 40s where the parent was quite old, and basically [b]not interested in finding a placement for their child[/b]. I dont' know if it's unwillingness to let go, or don't want to face their own mortality, or don't want to think they're not needed. Who knows, maybe they're just too busy for this. But by all means, these cases are not rare and it's unfortunate. I think my father even tried to gently approach the topic with some parents there while socializing, but I don't think it went well.[/quote]

Right.  I'm sure the only reason those parents haven't found a placement for their kids is because they're unwillingness to let go, don't want to face their own mortality or don't want to think they're not needed.   :roll:[/quote]
