[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're angry at them for asking?
This comes up all the time. Angry for being asked
Yes, this is an extremely unique situation, a situation you should decline
but DCUM is full of adults who don't seem capable of saying "no"
And instead just want to be mad that they were asked[/quote]

I’m angry about the situation on several fronts.  Long standing history of their ignoring their son and his mental health.  I’ve always tried to help as best I can and don’t want to hurt him but I do think they should either take him or stay home.  In terms of respite, that’s not the issue.  They aren’t tuned in and “see no problem” that’s the issue.  [/quote]

I hate to say this but you aren't going to change them and he got the bad lot in parents which is probably part of the mental health issues.  They should take him or stay home, no question but that's not the plan and they aren't going to change.  So, if you say no, they go anyway, what happens to this kid.  By taking him, you could do a life time of good.  (but I would be very worried about liability if he tried it again).[/quote]
