[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you considered getting any additional training for counseling kids through trauma or working with persons with disabilities? Otherwise, it sounds like you are doing great. Some days you won't feel like you are doing well (as I learned working with a special needs child) and on those days you'll need to remind yourself that just creating a space where this family can interact and love one another is huge in itself. I wish you the best.[/quote]

The father needs to find a counselor for his children.  This I'm s not a nanny's responsibility.  If the wife is that bad, she shouldn't even be at home but in an institution geared to help her.[/quote]

I'm the OP and that's extremely offensive to say their mother belongs in an institution.  She is still his wife and their mother.  She still birthed their children and belongs in the house, she is still family.  She is getting the best care and is with those who love her and she loves.  It would be so much tougher if she was in a nursing home.  Studies show you can make more progress in a familiar place with more direct care.

Although it may not be my responsibility to get the children counseling, it is my responsibility to help my NF in this difficult journey and do what I think is best.

Your response was not at all helpful.[/quote]
