Would she stay? i thought it was the most horrible thing, but it was a necessity. I might never have been okay again, if I had not been able to have this time. It had been so long that life had had any normalcy I didn't even really know how good it could be. You won't be a horrible person if you let her be taken care of by someone else. I used to worry about that, it got to the point I did not care in the least. I could go home in my house and be happy, play with my dog without the threat of something hitting me or hurting me mental, physically emotionally. You deserve that and so does the rest of your family. Many hugs, and prayers coming your'e way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
