[QUOTE="wen, post: 320927, member: 8477"] First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the responses. I am so thankful for each one of your responses and caring words. In response to one of the questions, we do have 2 children living in the home (9 & 12). My 9-yr-old son is small for his age; therefore Ann considers him a target. We do our best to not let any situations arise. Today, we had an unfortunate issue. First, before saying this, I would like to say that I make HUGE efforts to include her, but keep the other 2 safe. In a public place, Ann grabbed my son's privates. It left him feeling hurt, vulnerable, uneasy, and very upset. My heart breaks for him. Previously this year, Ann had a psychiatric evaluation. The results came back recently, and the therapists are suggesting that she be institutionalized. I think at this point, that may be our best bet. We could still visit and have family time on weekends, holidays, etc. My husband, however, is torn because he feels that Ann would not get hugs everyday, and that sense of "family". I have to step up and protect my son. How do I convince my husband that this is the best for everyone involved, including Ann??? [/QUOTE]
